Titles found in various pages, as well as the page titles in the Wiki, song files, and song metadata should follow the style guide below.
Capitalization
The VGMPF uses the same capitalization rules as Wikipedia for determining when words in a title should be capitalized. Below is a list of the more common rules, but there are more in-depth in their style guide.
Always Capitalize
- The first and last word of a title.
- Every adjective, adverb, noun, and pronoun.
- Subordinating conjunctions (Me, It, His, If, etc.)
- All verbs, including short verbs (Am, Are, Be, Do, Go, Is, Was, etc.)
- Prepositions (words that identify a location in space or time) that contain five letters or more (During, Through, About, Until, Below, Under, etc.)
Never Capitalized
- Indefinite and definite articles (a, an, the).
- Short coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, and nor).
- Other words when used as a conjunction (for, yet, so).
- Prepositions containing four letters or fewer (as, in, of, on, to, for, from, into, like, over, with, upon, etc.)
- The word to in infinitives.
