Talk:Fall damage

Move
Move to Fall Damage? It is consistent with all our other pages, especially if your think of "Fall Damage" as a mechanic. happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 06:59, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I liked how Fall Damage looked better ;_; but that's just me haha -- ❤Kalilla❤ 07:00, 15 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Sentence case makes for easier transclusion linkage. See Game mechanics. It's one of those things we have to standardize I think with the growth and maturity of the wiki. But I'm happy to hear alternative viewpoints. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  07:03, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * What if you made it Fall Damage and made Fall damage redirect to the page so users can use both? -- ❤Kalilla❤ 07:06, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Same thing goes with Game Mechanics vs Game mechanics -- ❤Kalilla❤ 07:07, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Or simply made the redirect at Fall Damage (as it is now)... same result. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  07:10, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It all comes down to this: Do you write:
 * "Be careful to avoid Fall Damage"
 * "Be careful to avoid fall damage"
 * Up until now, any game related term we have been using has been capitalized. Now, having done this could have been wrong, and caps should have been given only to game related "objects", and not gaming terms...
 * There is no "move" request for pages like Defense, but the question remains for in sentence usage: "Molten armor has a lot of defense" or "Molten armor has a lot of Defense"? I vote for the caps BTW. happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 07:15, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It's only an issue where the title is more than one word. MediaWiki automatically ignores case on the first word of title links. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  07:19, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * From a pure technical point of view, yes, but the question is more than just that. When you want to write a sentence, should it be caps or not? happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 07:34, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * If the page titles are in sentence case, they can be written into sentences normally. example: The defense rating of a character is used in the calculation of fall damage. If the page titles are in Title Case, the links have to be adjusted. example: The defense rating of a character is used in the calculation of fall damage. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  07:37, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

&lt;--Just ignoring page titles for a second, since we are referring to explicit game mechanics, the words are more than just their vague English definition. Shouldn't we be writing "The Defense rating of a character is used in the calculation of Fall Damage."? I think so, but I'm not sure. happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 07:46, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * looks better to me <.<; maybe its only because they are links -- ❤Kalilla❤ 07:49, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Caps belong at the beginning of sentences and proper names. I consider an item's "proper name" as it's label in game ~ thus the capitalization. The mechanics are more closely related to "glossary" terms than proper names, thus the lack of capitalization in my opinion. Kalila, while I understand your viewpoint, for me this is more of a grammatical issue than an appearance one. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  07:55, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
