Invitation to comment at Template:Link language RfC
I saw that you once commented in relation to this matter, so I wanted to invite you to comment at Template talk:Link language#Request for comment on formatting, which (in my mind) is criminally underattended.

Capitalization X Line
Re Talk:Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya_Line#Requested_move_11_December_2017 "since sources do not support treating these as proper names" is an incorrect statement. The pro-voters run into RU/UA/BY articles, will move articles and leave an inconsistent mess at least for RU, since they won't find all occurrences. Currently for Russia it is consistently upper case, cannot say for UA/BY. 213.39.177.5 (talk) 03:14, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
