Articles are not video games, movies, or books. They don’t need to follow “English rules for titling.” If you go to Wikipedia, are the articles titled “Dog Training,” “Scissors Mechanism,” and “Video Games,” or are they titled dog training, scissors mechanism, and video games?

Capitalizing all titles is bad for the following reasons:


 * 1) It can confuse readers. They may look at the title and think that something is capitalized when it really shouldn’t be.


 * 1) It messes up wiki links. If this wiki didn’t have such weird rules, you could do this:  Since you do follow such weird rules, however, you have to do this:  Here is a suggestion: If you really wish to capitalize all article titles for stylization’s sake, you could use CSS to capitalize all titles without messing up links. Or you could just make all titles all-caps like some wikis do; no problems, no confusion.


 * 1) It can confuse editors. People might be confused when it comes to the capitalization of the article titles, like I just was.

Now I know the rules, and I won’t repeat my mistake; however, I suggest that you change this, either by forfeiting this rule or doing what I said in CSS.

Now, I don’t make the rules. I’m just making a suggestion. I don’t care what you choose to do, but I’m just saying: Capitalizing all titles when they shouldn’t be capitalized causes many issues. This is the only wiki I’ve seen that does this.
