The beginning of sentences and titles should always be capitalized. Otherwise we have decided to follow the [[:Category:Manuals|manual]] as written by the game designers.
Try to follow the wikipedia style guide / conventions:
*<span class='plainlinks'>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters]</span>
*<span class='plainlinks'>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(capitalization) Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(capitalization)]</span>


The [[Word_list_from_the_manuals|word list]] may be of some help, however most words are used only as titles and so will be listed only as capitalized. We want to know if it should be capitalized in the middle of sentences. If you are unsure, it would be better to err on the side of lowercase. Having capital letters everywhere is unprofessional.
