When is the final vote decided? It seems like nobody opposes... and I really want to begin de-capitalizing stuff.--[[User talk:Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato|Fluffball Gato]] 04:40, July 1, 2010 (UTC) | When is the final vote decided?

Is this meant to apply to the main title of the page, or just the links linking to it. If it's just the links, I could dare less whether capitalization is corrected, and would vote for this proposal, but if this is applied to the main title (as in changing this title from "Forum:Proposal to Capitalize Titles Canonically" to "Forum:Proposal to capitalize titles canonically"), I'm afraid I'd have to vote against it. In pretty much every sense I've heard the word 'title' used, it denotes the name of the page. If it's a name, then every word should be capitalized, except for 'the' and words like that. - dehydromon 02:31, July 3, 2010 (UTC) | Is this meant to apply to the main title of the page, or just the links linking to it.

:Well, this is a forum, so it can be spelled however I want it to be spelled. On the Halopedia encyclopedia, though, I mean the actual title should conform to grammar. Understand that it's not just the name of the page as in a title, and it is the address and the name of the ''subject''. The name of the subject "pencil" should not be capitalized unless it is at the beginning of a sentence. Names of articles are not like newspaper titles and should be treated like sentences unless it has some special stylization like ''i love bees''. --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 08:25, July 4, 2010 (UTC) | :Well, this is a forum, so it can be spelled however I want it to be spelled.
