Hi FullAuto. Just so you are aware, all the See Also's (including normal headers) are capitalized on this site. So you'll be doing lots and lots of editing just to gain no measurable improvement or readability. Yeah, I realize the Wikipedia uses small caps for the second to the last words in a header. But capitalizing all words in a header is the way we've always done it. And personally, I don't think it detracts or makes things harder to follow. Though I'm just one voice in a crowd here. --Zombie 22:27, 17 July 2009 (EDT)

To add a second voice, I agree with Zombie. I think it's good that you are tightening up the wording of some articles, making them a bit less 'chatty', and applying Wiki standards, but some of the Wikipedia standards have never been applied here so it would be a very large amount of work, with limited benefit, to apply them now. But thank you for the editing work. Spike 06:46, 18 July 2009 (EDT)

Thanks chaps. It's fair enough, I'm not expecting a massive improvement in the wiki through these edits, it's just a bit of smartening up and standardising. FullAuto 17:55, 1 August 2009 (EDT)

Disagreement

Your uncapitalisation of item names e.g. "Mind Probe" -> "mind probe" makes it harder to read the articles. It's especially annoying when they're capitalised in-game. Magic9mushroom 01:49, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

Do we have to have this argument again?

Title case isn't that bad, and some of the things you are uncapitalising are capitalised in-game. Magic9mushroom 17:55, 14 February 2012 (EST)

FullAuto I for one am grateful for your cleanup efforts in general. But I do agree with others that there is no reason to remove title case. Title case is actually helpful for names of things and also for, er, titles. Spike

Another note - altering headers breaks links. -  Bomb Bloke (Talk/Contribs) 01:36, 19 March 2012 (EDT)
