This reminded me of something I've been meaning to address for some time. I'm pretty sure I made a post about it somewhere a while ago, but I can't find it anywhere anymore. | [[:Category:Images of Gravity mace|This]] reminded me of something I've been meaning to address for some time.

Thing is, while our category naming is currently all over the place, the original intent was to adopt a similar format as [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Images_by_subject comparable categories in Wookieepedia]. The gist is that categories should follow similar capitalization standards as article titles; ie. non-proper nouns should not be capitalized in running text. As said in the relevant bit of the [[Halopedia:Manual of Style#Capitalization|MOS]], "Category:Images of armor abilities" is the proper form, while "Category:Images of Armor abilities" is not. Also, the idea was that with things of which there are more than one, the category name should be in plural (e.g. "Images of gravity maces", [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Images_of_weapons_by_model compare to Wookieepedia]), though that's pretty much never followed RE weapons, vehicles and other equipment and would be pretty hard to implement at this stage without a bot, so I'm almost willing to drop that part. | Thing is, while our category naming is currently all over the place, the original intent was to adopt a similar format as [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Images_by_subject comparable categories in Wookieepedia].
