==Trait name==
[[File:IP_traits.png|thumb|right]]
According to this image, the correct spelling of this trait is '''Loves To Swim''', not '''Loves to Swim'''. I think we should keep it like what appears in-game. Traits like [[Hates the Outdoors]], [[No Sense of Humor]], and [[Loves the Cold]] are spelled that way in-game though.

:Spelled which way? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 06:10, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
::I mean the "the" and "of" are in lowercase. The "To" in Loves To Swim, however, is capitalized.

:::From a grammatical standpoint, it's customary not to capitalize [[Wikipedia:Article (grammar)|articles]] like 'a' or 'the' in titles. Our own [[TSW:MOS|MOS]] would dictate that the title be 'Loves to swim'. So in reality we could name it one of three different ways. But the issue of capitalization is one that is so minor as to make the decision we reach essentially irrelevant, since we can always set up redirects from the other two we select. In which case, we should aim for consistency between the different articles. If we choose to simply name this article in line with the others, then 'Loves to Swim' would be proper. Otherwise, we could rename all the articles to fall in line with the MOS style (all but the first word capitalized, unless it's a proper noun), in which case we would need to rename the other articles too. Or we can choose to adopt the in-game style. But for consistency, I think the first two of the options I described are better. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 14:44, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
::::So far, we've kept consistency with most article titles, except some objects (titles of some objects are usually inconsistent). AFAIK, we've used the in-game style for careers ([[Fortune Teller]]), skills ([[Social Networking]]), and traits, although maybe there are some more. Therefore, I wouldn't agree if it has to be renamed to "Loves to swim" because we're used to using the in-game spelling for the said examples.
::::Between "Loves to Swim" and "Loves To Swim," we could go with MOS, or in-game spelling since it's a trait.

:::::Actually, going with the MOS would mean titling it 'Loves to swim' (along with changing the other articles to reflect this). The idea of consistency between articles might be a bigger issue than this, but I would still prefer that we remain consistent, if only between all the trait pages. Thus, I'm suggesting that we leave it as 'Loves to Swim'. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 17:58, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
