From our style guide:


 * "The first letter in an article's title should be capitalized. The rest of the title should be uppercase as well, unless it would be lowercase when written in a normal title. These include but aren't limited to: of, and, an, the, by, to, as, in, on, with, at, for, a, from."

So roughly: "Capitalize all words, except for articles, prepositions, and conjunctions". Where exactly does this tenet come from? It is just not in conformity with proper English language. "Sly's C ane" should be "Sly's c ane". There's no reason to capitalize every noun unless they are proper nouns, let alone verbs, adverbs and adjectives. And to attest to this: within article texts, we use lower case letters for these kind of articles, and we have to go as far as using the pipe trick to do it (ex: Sly's cane ).

I would like to revise this rule and give articles proper names per English language. I would like to do this for section headings (ex: Early l ife), and categories (ex: Category:Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time c haracters) as well. Such a move would require renaming of some articles, but items such as blog posts and forums would be left alone.
