Flower capitalization

White [[rose]] or White [[Rose]]? Naraht (talk) 21:01, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

In this case, I use the Wikilink's original spelling. Jax MN (talk) 18:02, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
I'm not honestly sure I understand your comment. Should it be Rose (with a capital R) or rose (with a lose case r) in the example?Naraht (talk) 01:02, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
Sorry for being unclear. The word Rose, standing alone, is capitalized as a Wikilink article. However, following Wikipedia's rule on excessive capitalization, when called out as a particular sub-group of Rose, I think the preference around here is to omit capitalizing the trailing word "rose" in situations like White rose. But if you are going to nest a Wikilink around only that second word, the actual article you'd point to isn't "[[rose]]", but "[[Rose]]". I don't have a strong preference here, but given my preference to point to actual articles, with piped alternative spellings that reflect in the body text, I would likely frame it like this" "White [[Rose|rose]]". It's simply more work for us, and perhaps this is a clear example of why the lower case version of the word is automatically captured as a redirect to the upper case version.

It is going to the same location, and so , no pipe needed, I was more interested in how it should be for the person to see. So, White [[rose]] it is.Naraht (talk) 15:04, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
Yeah... Rose and rose point to the same place, by design. Per the MOS the parameter (as displayed) would be "White rose" so we would link it as [rose]. Primefac (talk) 13:05, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
