Capitalization, or "Doom Retro" vs. "DOOM RETRO"[edit]

Style guidelines of the wiki prefer to avoid all-caps when not justified (i.e. we use "Doom" and not "DOOM"). On the other hand we also use the author's capitalization scheme for source port names. Honestly I think the article would look much better with "Doom Retro", but I will not change it if Bradharding opposes. --Gez (talk) 11:10, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

There have been exceptions to that in the past. "BOOM" was always referred to in the all-caps by TeamTNT, yet was mass-converted to "Boom" at the same time the wiki mass-changed all DOOM to Doom. My (IMO justified) objections to this went unheeded. --Quasar (talk) 13:13, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
On the DOOM RETRO (Doom Retro?) website, and all correspondence, I've tried to maintain all uppercase for consistency. But I agree that if the convention is "Doom Retro" here in this wiki, then I certainly won't oppose. --bradharding (talk) 18:33, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
If that's the official capitalization, we still could/should mention that somewhere as well as create a redirect. --Quasar (talk) 20:40, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
