Hi! I just wanted to mention that putting {{Template:disambig}} already takes care of Category:Disambiguation, so you never need to categorise pages with the disambiguation template. --Krypton 23:51, 25 April 2008 (GMT)
Why are they being capitalised? They aren't the beginnings of sentences. --Krypton 15:48, 26 April 2008 (GMT)
- Starting bulleted lists without caps looks ugly. The periods you've placed I could care less about. Asara 17:28, 26 April 2008 (GMT)
- My opinion is just the opposite. If you capitalise it, you make it an incomplete sentence, so it becomes grammatically and aethetically (this latter one being my opinion) ugly. Disambiguation lists should be comparable to lists in sentence form; you wouldn't capitalise each item in the list of "I enjoy the following activities: sunning on the beach, practising martial arts, and wasting lots of time." --Krypton 17:42, 26 April 2008 (GMT)
- Well, if you want to make an issue out of what's subjective, up to you, but in the end there are a lot more important things to get held up about! Asara 19:15, 26 April 2008 (GMT)
- I'll leave that to the folks who don't already have something to be held up about! --Krypton 19:28, 26 April 2008 (GMT)
- Sorry, Krypton, voting in agreement with Asara, capitalize the bulleted items. Corvax 19:03, 28 April 2008 (GMT)
- My only concern is that everything be consistent. Everything's far from consistent as is, and that applies to more than just capitalisation of the bulleted items. Should we end with periods? Should every term in the disambiguation list be briefly described? And wherever exceptions are applicable/necessary, the reasoning should be in writing for future reference. --Krypton 20:57, 28 April 2008 (GMT)
- Sounds good to me - that's actually also why I wondered why you hadn't uncapitalised the other bullets in the other disambigs which were already capitalised. Other than briefly describing each item, caps, periods, and other frivolous things really don't matter as long as it looks neat and organised. Asara 23:51, 28 April 2008 (GMT)
