*I'm guessing but confident that eventually most of the contributors who start here will be familiar with Wikipedia style and use it without thinking. Therefore a lot of page names will use sentence case whatever our guidelines say (because not everybody reads the guidelines; some because the idea that different wikis have different guidelines would not have occurred to them). So the easiest route to eventual consistency is to recommend Wikipedia styles. | *I'm guessing but confident that eventually most of the contributors who start here will be familiar with Wikipedia style and use it without thinking.

:: I definitely agree with this. I believe it would be an important contribution for someone to move all of our existing meta pages to these sentence-case page names. I've been creating redirects lately, from alternative capitalization versions of meta pages, which can certainly be changed to point to whatever the standard is. Having a standard really helps me remember how to link to a page. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 10:57, 7 Mar 2006 (EST) | |||
