Title

[edit]

Hi, @Alpha3031. Can you please share your justifications behind moving the article from Multi-Role Support Ship (United Kingdom) to Multi-role support ship (United Kingdom)?

I feel it should have stayed at its original location in title case, as it is an official name for a programme. It is always in title case in official sources, e.g. here and here. TheArmchairSoldier (talk) 16:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While a rough majority of RS capitalise in title case, there is a significant minority (FT, Hansard The News) with sentence case, and there is no preference for official sources over other reliable sources for naming conventions (WP:OFFICIALNAME). As such, I interpret the relevant policy (WP:SENTENCECASE) and guidelines (WP:HEADCAPS) as prescribing lower case, given it is not done consistently so. Alpha3031 (tc) 17:16, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, going though some of the guidelines again, I see I should have also shortened the dab per WP:ACRODAB, like Labour party (UK), so will be doing that now. Alpha3031 (tc) 06:45, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
