==Page name==
I've reverted a page move from "Childhood phase" to "Childhood Phase" (notice the capitalization). This is to adhere to the wiki's [[TSW:MOS|Manual of Style]], which states: "The Sims Wiki follows Wikipedia's naming conventions, which state that each word in the title and headers should be lowercase unless it is the first word or it is always capitalized." The page was moved to "Childhood Phase" because, according to the page mover, the term 'childhood phase' always appears capitalized in the game. However, past precedent on the wiki has established that we don't adhere to in-game capitalization rules in article text or article/section titles. There are many words and phrases that are always capitalized in-game that The Sims Wiki does not capitalize in the middle of sentences. As a general rule, TSW will only capitalize words in text or titles when the words are proper nouns.
If this matter needs further discussion, I'd encourage a reply to this post. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 23:21, May 30, 2017 (UTC)

<blockquote>Common terms, even if they're capitalized in-game, ''should not'' be capitalized in articles:
*Motives (Hygiene becomes hygiene)
*Traits (Animal Lover becomes animal lover)
Line 41 ⟶ 33:
**Plants (Crystal Plant, Money Tree, Flame Fruit, Forbidden Fruit, Life Fruit, Kona Bean, Ginseng, etc.)
**Food (Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich, Lobster Thermidor, Crepes Suzette)
**Fish (Robot Fish, Deathfish, Red Herring)</blockquote>

I am not sure exactly under which header this would fall, as it is more-or-less a life event as opposed to a particular trait, motive, emotion, etc. The only other thing I can think off of the top of my head that is similar to "childhood phase" in terms of how it affects gameplay is the [[midlife crisis]] from ''Generations''. That page follows TSW's sentence case rule, and when the term is referred to in article text, it's written in lowercase rather than capitalized. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 23:28, May 30, 2017 (UTC)
