A couple of things that could be added to the proposal: With the capitalization standard being changed, it should also be noted that the bracketed addendum should always be in lowercase, for the sake of both grammar and convenience in linking. That includes the ''(level)'' addendum which has been capitalized in the past. It's hard to think of a case where the word in the parentheses ''would be'' a proper noun except for some rare instances like [[Ghost (Marine)]]; although I'm not really sure if capitalizing the word "marine" is grammatically correct, since I've seen in being done both ways.

Also, as stated by {{Username|Dragonclaws}} in a thread [[Talk:Main Page#(Level)|on Talk:Main Page]], the addendum ''(level)'' should only be used if there is another subject that shares the name of the level, such as [[Crow's Nest (Level)]], or when there's a level of the same name in another game, like [[Halo (Halo 3 Level)]]. When the level is the only subject with that name, the ''(level)'' addendum becomes pointless.--[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 18:11, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
