Hey, what's the deal with moving all pages to Capitalize Every Single Word? It seems more appropriate to use sentence case when dealing with normal terms (as opposed to proper nouns, which should of course be capitalized). <font color="blue">[[User talk:Radiant|Radiant]]</font> <i>([http://taleoftwokingdoms.com ATOTK])</i> 15:28, 8 December 2005 (CET) | Hey, what's the deal with moving all pages to Capitalize Every Single Word?

# Moving (renaming) a page leaves lots of crap redirect pages, which is a pain to clean them off (and sometimes when you remove one redirect page some link may be broken). | # Moving (renaming) a page leaves lots of crap redirect pages, which is a pain to clean them off (and sometimes when you remove one redirect page some link may be broken). | ||

*Isn't that the whole point of redirects, that you can redirect | *Isn't that the whole point of redirects, that you can redirect ''some title'' to ''Some Title'' or vice versa, so that people won't mess up links if they don't know how exactly to spell them? I think on Wikipedia about 40% of the pages are redirects now. <font color="blue">[[User talk:Radiant|Radiant]]</font> <i>([http://taleoftwokingdoms.com ATOTK])</i> 02:42, 9 December 2005 (CET) | ||

Please, don't argue on such a minor matter, like I wrote before, I have no problem with redirects, but if there're ''no mistakes'' in the original article name, there's no point to move it just to change the cases of it if ''it doesn't make things better'' (It's okay to change the cases if the original was ''really'' in ''improper'' capitalizations), giving alternate titles to articles (using redirects), however, is encouraged, given that the alternative names are sensible for naming the articles, and they helps in searching and/or referencing. -- [[User:Gilbert|Gilbot]] 02:12, 12 December 2005 (CET) | Please, don't argue on such a minor matter, like I wrote before, I have no problem with redirects, but if there're ''no mistakes'' in the original article name, there's no point to move it just to change the cases of it if ''it doesn't make things better'' (It's okay to change the cases if the original was ''really'' in ''improper'' capitalizations), giving alternate titles to articles (using redirects), however, is encouraged, given that the alternative names are sensible for naming the articles, and they helps in searching and/or referencing. -- [[User:Gilbert|Gilbot]] 02:12, 12 December 2005 (CET) | ||
I had let this drop, but I just found out that Gilbert's attitude to Radiant has made Radiant stop doing anything on the wiki at all. I think we lost a valuable contributor here. Surely if there's no point in moving something, there is also NO POINT MOVING IT BACK. Please, don't be an ass ons uch a minor matter. --[[User:SSH|SSH]] 17:14, 13 January 2006 (GMT) | |||
I think the inactivity of Radiant is not related to anything, since after the hype in creating stuff during the first weeks of launch of this Wiki, changes are slow on the whole now, and I don't have an attitude towards Radiant, really, he did make many valuable contributions here. I just have problem with changing stuff that are unnecessary, and there're points to change them back to tidy up the site as a whole, ''as long as it's still possible''. The AGS Wiki, in comparison to the Wikipedia, is tiny, so constant managements help keeping the information accessible and the site in shape, before it's expanded to a state that it's impossible to manage anymore (like in Wikipedia, in practice no redirects should be removed because the site is now so complex that doing such changes can break A LOT of stuff). -- [[User:Gilbert|Gilbot]] 02:40, 14 January 2006 (GMT) | |||
