 ==== Capitalization in article titles  ====
-In titles, use sentence-style capitalization, which means that only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized. (For some wiki capabilities, sentence capitalization is required.) Do not list words all in capitals unless the word is an acronym.<br>
+In article titles, capitalize the first word of the title.  Also, capitalize nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and the first word after a colon. Conjunctions and prepositions should not be capitalized.
-:'''Exception:''' The historical records collections in FamilySearch.org use book title capitalization.<br>
