You're absolutely right! Please move pages as needed. Old habits die hard!

Hello, I just started moving pages. But know I wonder which case I should use for inner-title words. Should the page title be "Books and tutorials" or "Books and Tutorials", for example? Since pages are only small documents, I chose the lower-case alternative but currently the Haskell website uses upper-case. Best wishes, Wolfgang

I think that title case would be appropriate. The Chicago Manual of Style gives this description: * Always capitalize the first and the last word. * Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinate conjunctions ("as", "because", "although"). * Lowercase all articles, coordinate conjunctions ("and", "or", "nor"), and prepositions regardless of length, when they are other than the first or last word. * Lowercase the "to" in an infinitive." - Sam

Wikipedia uses first word only, e.g. "Books and tutorials".

LaTeX – A Document Preparation System says in subsection B.1.2: The bibliography style determines whether or not a title is capitalized; the titles of books usually are, the titles of articles usually are not. Best wishes, Wolfgang

Okay but how should we handle page names? Pages are neither books nor articles but they are closer to articles than to books. Therefore, I would propose to use lower case letters for all words except the first one. Since changing the title actually means moving the page, we should agree on this point here before doint further page renamings. Best wishes, Wolfgang

Not that I'm anyone important, but I have no problem with that (lower case except for first word). - Sam
