===Page Names and Capitalization===

{{gamename}} has all items and creatures titles written in all lowercase, unless the name is proper ([[Sparafucile]] vs [[giant centipede nest]]). To keep in the same spirit, all items and creatures will follow the same convention. If possible, the capitalization format of the game must be obeyed as much as possible. As an example, all mutations are capitalized in Title Case as they are in game ([[Multiple Legs]]) but cybernetics are not ([[cherubic visage]]). Concepts and mechanics that have no official name will follow standard wiki title format. The same concept applies to capitalizations of terms that appear within the text of an article.

~~Exceptions can be made for section~~ titles, table headers, and similar labels ~~- these typically~~ are written in Title Case regardless of the terminology involved.

As a rule, capitalize the same way the game does.

Item and creature names are generally written in all lowercase (e.g., {{F|giant centipede nest}}) unless the name is proper (e.g., {{F|Sparafucile}}).

Mutation names are Title Case (e.g., {{F|Multiple Legs}}); cybernetics (which are items) are not (e.g., {{F|cherubic visage}}).

Concepts and mechanics that are ordinary English words and don't appear in-game are generally not capitalized, but it may vary on a case by case basis.

Section titles, table headers, and similar labels are generally written in Title Case regardless of the terminology involved.

Examples of terms and their typical capitalization:
