I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and tables for short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 01:41, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
While I would prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules referred to above, the Wikipedia Manual of Style at WP:MOS requires "title case". I will make changes accordingly. Sunwin1960 (talk) 10:49, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Sunwin1960: As far as I know the MOS guidelines you cited are about titles of works mentioned in a Wikipedia article title or body text. Per WP:CITEVAR, citation style should be uniform within an article but can vary across articles, and there is no Wikipedia-wide standard citation style, and I have always assumed this includes capitalization. You can see that some of the examples in CITEVAR don't follow the MOS capitalization guidelines, for example. Another example is that many psychology articles follow APA style, which does not follow the MOS capitalization guidelines. Biogeographist (talk) 15:28, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what your last sentence means, but in general one does have to reach consensus about citation style if there is disagreement, per CITEVAR: "If the article you are editing is already using a particular citation style, you should follow it; if you believe it is inappropriate for the needs of the article, seek consensus for a change on the talk page." If one goes around unilaterally changing citation style in articles, one shouldn't be surprised to encounter some resistance eventually! Biogeographist (talk) 13:56, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
