::The answer the community came to is that the citation titles should be capitalized based on the Chicago Manual of Style. Note that there is a difference between the style for page article titles and citation titles. There was a suggestion that our Wiki article titles guideline in the Manual of Style is not how we have been doing things, suggestion was to add that to the [[FamilySearch Wiki talk:Manual of Style|MoS Talk page]].

:*Subpages – Clarification and possible policy change. [[Help:Subpages|Help:Subpages]] says: “By default, MediaWiki's subpage feature is turned off in the main namespace, but can be used on [[Help:Talk pages|talk pages]] and [[Help:User page|user pages]]. See [[Help:Namespaces|Help:Namespaces]]. In namespaces where the feature is switched off, any slashes (/) within a page name are simply part of the page name and do nothing special.”
