Makes sense...that wiki changed many pages to lower case i.e. Common butterfly instead of Common Butterfly. But those changes happened when I wasn't around.

It's pretty easy to assume things are wrong when you spend a lot of time doing it, being told it is right, and not seeing anything suggesting otherwise over several years, which in this instance is perhaps the "trap" I ended up in. But additionally, as proven by my history, several people believe this (this being the way I assumed was right) is the correct way to do it and as a result change articles and convince newer users that is correct, so that method of doing things spreads and spreads...especially when these people are sysop/bcrat and tend to be believed by other, newer users. I don't recall when I was subjected to this "rule" as an editor, but it was probably a while ago.

It's been a while since I have edited a wiki in any serious way so I probably forgot stuff as well. I don't remember the idea of referring to an article title being different to referring to the noun that the article represents.

Anyway...interesting discussion.
