** Where is this standard listed? There shouldn't ever be an exception. Else you might as well create articles called, [[some article]]. How is that different?

- Welcome Blackthir13en. I'm curious why you are renaming so many articles? There are many items where the second word is not a Proper name, so it does not require capitalization. Is this some wiki policy from another site? --Orne 23:00, 14 November 2006 (EST)
- I'm not sure about all the capitalization moves, either. Capital letters in the middle of the titles mean you have to pipe links to them or else have Random Capitals In Your Text.--Hardvice (talk) 23:01, 14 November 2006 (EST)
- Without some sort of naming convention, it is nearly impossible to accurately link articles. Piping is nothing once a wiki grows in size. Not having a standard is much worse. See Lostpedia's page authoring for examples. --Blackthir13en 23:34, 14 November 2006 (EST)
- Yes. And ours is to capitalize the articles for easy inclusion in text. In other words, if it would be capitalized in a paragraph (like a proper noun), it should be capitalized in the title. The only exception to this that I can think of is The Symbol.--Hardvice (talk) 23:37, 14 November 2006 (EST)
