That's how I think headings should be treated as well. Headings/titles should be all capitalised (except for minor words like 'and', 'of', etc) and main body text should flow without capitals for anything but proper nouns. A redirect shouldn't be necessary - just use the <nowiki>[[<link>|<link text>]]</nowiki> formatting. The problem is that we're having quite a few categories recently being created with lower-case headings and changing categories are a pain - I don't think redirects will work on them. That's why I want to get a standard established soon, to avoid difficult changes later on. - Wedge

Well... we'll manage something, I suppose. I'm just a little concerned about all these new categories... but then, category management was never a strong point for me, and nothing is really set in stone anyway, metaphorically speaking. - Wedge

Okay, well some good news. I now have access to some of the novels. I'm gonna take some time to read one or two of them. Maybe afterwards I can contribute more to those projects related to End Run, Fleet Actions, etc., but only after I've read them. -Aeronautico

The 18th, you say? Sounds great. I will do my best to be there, and now that I know how to work the IRC, it should not be a problem. I'll try my best to be there. I really want to do my part to help.

One last question: Most of what you guys are covering in regards to Valkyrie/Vukar Tag/Kilrah Raid is all from End Run, correct? What novel do you recommend I read first? -Aeronautico
