Is using [[CamelCase]] still necessary for naming the categories? Personally, I've been blithely breaking this rule. Does this break something for someone somewhere down the line? Or is this a legacy instruction? --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 21:30, 8 October 2009 (EDT) | Is using [[CamelCase]] still necessary for naming the categories?

At the time when I wrote this, I was unaware of the history of CamelCase in wikis. Having started out on [[English Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], I have tended to emulate that style and thus avoid CamelCase, as well as the gratuitous use of uppercase letters. But, even though it feels wrong to me stylistically, I now see why we would want to keep this tradition alive. And on the practical side, using this convention might help us avoid category duplication such as we have with "[[:Category:Open source|open source]]": | :At the time when I wrote this, I was unaware of the history of CamelCase in wikis.
