Title case

[Allan Day]

Hello all,

I have a slightly anal question for you all! Is there any policy on what 
method of capitalisation should be used for titles (and subtitles) in 
the wiki?

Now, I'm not saying that we should get overly anal here. I don't want to 
go overboard when it comes to formatting rules. Contributing should be 
fun, right?! At the same time, it does look better for individual pages 
to be consistent in terms of their use of capitalisation. Further, in 
cases where there are pages with multiple different title case styles 
being used (like the community front page for instance! [1]), a policy 
on what style is best would be useful to editors.

Wikipedia has some good advice on different title case styles [2]. My 
favourite is would be to use sentence style titles. Here, 'only the 
first word and proper nouns are capitalized'. For example: 'Switching 
from another operating system'. Why? I think it looks good. Plus, it's 
simple to do - you don't need to remember or understand special 
grammatical rules about articles, prepositions, conjunctions, etc.

Does anyone else have an opinion on this? Is there something in the 
WikiGuide that I've missed?

Allan
