UESP Forums

I was browsing the UESP and saw that on the Bandit page there are countless times where things like "Iron Shield" or "Ebony Mace" are not capitalized, and it just looks unprofessional to me. I know it's a lot to ask for such a nitpicky thing, but it would be cool if we could clean this up to make it look nicer.

Frosty....

I'm positive that the most common answer you're gonna get is:

"Learn how to do it yourself. There are more important things for others to do."

I've gone through several paragraphs myself, but... it's a wall. But I understand that it's really nitpicky and not much of a problem...

It's not hard to edit wiki pages. Just click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and get to it!

Admins and Patrollers will check your edits to make sure they're OK, so don't worry about messing up.

Edit: Just gotta keep going. You'll be able to be proud of your work when you're done.

Lower-case is correct.

mxk101 is a Wiki Patroller, so he knows what he's talking about.

How is that correct?

If the paragraph is describing a general situation, the heavy use of capitalized 'names' for objects may be seen as distracting— it pulls you out of the situation and reminds you that you're just pushing pieces around in a virtual world.

See?

They are being used in a list in that instance, whereas on the Iron Weapons page they are being used as titles for a row.

There is an ongoing discussion about correct capitalisation here. It's a relatively new development to decapitalise item names etc, and not one I personally agree with all that much.
