HammerWiki:Use lower case
From HammerWiki
This page discusses the use of upper and lower case in general across HammerWiki.
Contents |
[edit] Summary
This is how case is handled on HammerWiki:
- Use normal English capitalization rules. Read them here or here if you are not familiar with them.
Example: Damage over time - The only exception is: If the game capitalizes a word, so does HammerWiki.
Example: Knight of the Blazing Sun - This applies to all article titles and text.
[edit] Exceptions to standard English
Due to the nature of this article, it's important to list the exceptions first.
- Item names and skill names are treated as proper nouns, and as such, are always capitalized!
[edit] Article and category titles
Because of the design of MediaWiki, the software used to run the HammerWiki, case is a bigger issue than you might think it deserves. An article called Some Test Article is different than the article Some test article. However, Some test article and some test article are exactly the same thing! Using a consistent case for article titles is therefore pretty important.
When referencing an article, do so as if it weren't an article. If I'm talking about style and formatting, I reference the article just like that. However, if the article name were to come at the beginning of the sentence, as in "Style and formatting is important for the HammerWiki," you'd capitalize the first letter. As noted before, both of these articles point to exactly the same place.
When more than one page uses that name and the 2 pages uses brackets the word in brackets should be in lower case if following on e.g. Choppa (weapon) not Choppa (Weapon). Normal rules apply.
[edit] Subheading titles
Subheading titles should, in general, have only the first letter capitalized. Any other capitalizations should occur only according to standard English rules.
[edit] Capitalization of in-game terms
Just because a term is in the game does not mean it should be capitalized. An example case of common incorrect usage:
- Winning Scenarios contributes Victory Points to your Realm.
This is incorrect. This sentence should be:
- Winning scenarios contributes victory points to your realm.
Any exceptions to this rule are noted in the section above.
