Trait name

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. Nikel Talk Vote! 05:34, June 19, 2013 (UTC)

Spelled which way? -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 06:10, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
I mean the "the" and "of" are in lowercase. The "To" in Loves To Swim, however, is capitalized. Nikel Talk Vote! 06:47, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
From a grammatical standpoint, it's customary not to capitalize articles like 'a' or 'the' in titles. Our own 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. -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 14:44, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
