Capitalise Proper Nouns And Special Words
To be consistent with in-game text, use capital letters for proper nouns and other special words where possible.
- e.g.: Cursed Enemies you Kill have a 1% chance to Explode, dealing a quarter of their maximum Life as Chaos Damage.

- Niightblade(t) — Apologies, I assumed there was already a consensus on this, based on the discussion here: Archive_6#Naming_scheme_for_items.
- Niightblade(t) — Any objections/feedback?
- I can agree on when quoting stat text like that example seems to be. I probably would like it to be styled with
{{c}}as well or just use{{ml}}instead. But I don't think it should be necessary for general text. Unlike the game the wiki has a great way of indicating special meaning already and that's wikilinks. --Illviljan (talk) 12:46, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

- Niightblade(t) — Ok, so just to be clear, you're saying general text that isn't wikilinked or otherwise marked-up should not need to use caps at all? Or just words that aren't proper nouns?
Considerations
- Most pages already conform to this guideline (as far as I can tell).
- May need to update the wording to show that the focus of this guideline is more toward general text with no special markup or wikilinks.
