Sentence case vs. title case

I don't understand this edit. Sentence case is standard for wiki headers and is more international. Why did you change the casing to title case? --MZMcBride 16:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MZMcBride. The headers were changed to title case since it is more professional in the context of the page's representation of our benefactors. Our foundation donors especially care about what this page looks like. The original grammar of the headers was also inconsistent, with "Foundation Support" and "Major Benefactors" capitalized and the rest being in sentence case, so I wasn't aware that it might be an issue. Thanks for letting me know  :) I originally made the edit on the template instead of the page itself, so I've gone back and restored the template so as not to mess with the international versions of the page. Those can be customized based on what's appropriate for each language.

Thanks again for your insight. I'm on Gchat as mashidi@gmail.com if you need a quicker way to contact me. I'm told that you're an invaluable resource when it comes to mediawiki markup and policies, and being quite new to it myself, I hope you'll continue to help me out in the future :) -- Steven
