So I've been thinking...thus far we at Turtlepedia have been haphazard to applying titlecase or lowercase as appropriate to article names and infobox terms, and this has been partially my fault as well. But maybe not only can we use a more logical and consistent convention going forward, but we can rename articles and categories and infobox fields already on the wiki.

So I'm thinking the convention should be: Use titlecase only for proper names including book, chapter, series and episode titles. But everything else should be all lowercase.

Examples to title case: Examples to lowercase:
 * Invasion of the Triceratons (except "of the" and similar words in similar situations)
 * Mighty Mutanimals
 * Tang Shen
 * Category:Deceased characters (not "Deceased Characters")
 * Leatherhead's lair (the "lair" part)
 * mutant turtle
 * stone soldier

In infoboxes, perhaps the field titles can be titlecase, but the fields themselves should probably be lowercase, like "Gender" with "male," "Species" with "human," etc.

Even article names, which always capitalize the first letter, can have their titles displayed lowercase as needed, using the   modifier, so mutant turtle can have    so its big text display title will also appear in lowercase.

Technically,   can also make work titles appear in italics, which is what Wikipedia does. For example,  .

A more borderline issue could be with "the turtles." In typing comics transcripts, I've been virtually always not treating this as a proper noun. If a family or team name is situationally treated like a title, it can be titlecased, but casual mentions of "the turtles" almost always seem more descriptive in nature and never like a proper title. Care would need to be taken to consider which case would be more likely in-universe in a given situation. In more toyetically-oriented works, there's a tendency for species, objects and locations, etc. to have more title-like names (Party Wagon, Squirrelanoids, the Turtle Lair, etc.), but this assumption almost completely evaporates in most of the comics (Old Hob's van, thanasoid, the lair, etc.).

All of this would undoubtedly take a lot of work, but I'm not proposing it all be done at once, but rather gradually over time with watchful eyes.
