==question about changing the case in parentheticals==
 
Article Titles are generally capitalized, including disambig like (Battle Armor) being either Battle Armour mounted or built to be mounted on the same. why did you change (Battle Armor) to (battle armor) on the heavy machine gun?--[[User:PerkinsC|Cameron]] ([[User talk:PerkinsC|talk]]) 23:01, 17 August 2014 (PDT)

:Hello; the reason for it was a sweeping change brought by the conversation [http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Armor#Capitalization here] that established "Battle Armor" was wrong and "battle armor" is correct. I was under the assumption that it should have been changed, but perhaps we need to discuss it. It wouldn't be too hard to change them all back, just some time. Now that I checked, the [[BattleTechWiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] is lacking anything covering the capitalization of titles. Thank you for pointing this out; I had had second thoughts as well, but we can discuss it in-depth over at the manual of style talk page. -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 04:20, 18 August 2014 (PDT)

::Battle Armor is part of the title, you capitalize the title, upper or lower case in the paragraph is a matter of the style manual, but Title Case is used for Article Titles Section Headers and File Names--[[User:PerkinsC|Cameron]] ([[User talk:PerkinsC|talk]]) 19:32, 18 August 2014 (PDT)

:::Yes, the more I think about it, it makes more sense to have it capitalized in titles; I'll start the conversation on the Manual of Style talk page, and we can continue talking there.
