TheBestLinks.com:Naming conventions (capitalization)

From TheBestLinks.com

Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization)

Convention: Unless the term you wish to create a page for is a proper noun, do not capitalize second and subsequent words.

When you create a link with the first letter of the link uncapitalized, like this, the first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized by the software. So like this points to the page titled Like_this. For multiword page titles, one should leave the second and subsequent words in lowercase unless the title phrase would always occur capitalized, even in the middle of a sentence (for example, a book title). If we capitalize too many words within a page title, then whenever we want to link to that page, we must capitalize it in our running text or use a pipe.

See also the manually-edited List of pages with capital first letters that should be lowercase.

Animals, Plants and other Organisms

The capitalization on the common names of species has been hotly debated in the past and has remained unresolved. As a matter of truce both capitalized and non-capitalized (except for proper names) are acceptable, but a redirect should be created from the alternative form.
