Titles should be | Titles should be in title case if they are a feature in ''Better than Adventure!''. This style guide, for example, is not in the mod, therefore it is in sentence case ("Style guide" rather than "Style Guide"). However, the title for the [[Block of Steel|block of steel]] page is in title case due to the block being in the game ("Block of Steel" rather than "Block of steel"). Note that the hyperlink does not capitalize. | ||

=== Titles === | |||
* Titles should always use title case, following general rules of capitalization, such as the "of" in "Block of Gold" not being capitalized. | |||
* However, if a title isn't relating to a specific feature of BTA, it should use sentence case. For example, a page about nether coal should be written as "Nether Coal", but a page about a survival guide should be written as "Survival guide", with only the first word capitalized. | |||
* Avoid plurals for the most part. A page leading to a list of items should not be titled "Items", but rather it should be titled "Item". The only real exception to this rule is for guides. | |||
