		+	:::Yes I agree entirely with the gentleman, the exception being capitalisation of titles (in English, many other languages not) and proper nouns. It seems a big ask to go about altering every OXP title where this convention most likely is overwhelmingly uniform. Especially as EliteWiki's own MoS managed to get stuck with the maxim that there should be ''indiscriminate'' use of capitals. But yes, I'm for it. <font size="-6">OLD</font>[[User:Murgh\|<font size="-1">M</font><font size="-3" >URGH</font>]] [[User talk:Murgh\|<font size="-5"><sup>talk</sup></font>]] 21:54, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

 Not quite. [http://www.aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9254&p=281490#p281490 Switeck said] that he did not see the point of them having their own pages. So they are now detailed on his just created user:page, but to have oxp-category tags on that particular page seems misleading to me. Hence creating redirects which can become oxp pages in their own right in the fullness of time.

 I want to add redirects for Switeck's Quantum Drive OXP & Variable Jump Drive OXP, so that the redirects can bear the tags linking them to the Equipment category. Should that now be Quantum drive & Variable jump drive?

 I noticed that capital letters are used on Elite Wiki in article titles and headers indiscriminately, like the Americans do, not just for proper nouns. I even made a note about this in the [[EliteWiki:Manual of Style|MoS]]. By the way, in the most contradictory way, on Wikipedia this is not allowed and proper capitalisation rules must be followed in all titles and headers. Do we want to keep things as they are, or do we want to implement the rules from Wikipedia here as well and try to change to correct usage of capital letters?
