Article Capitalization
When AboutUs creates a domain page it tries to convert the domain name into upper and lower case (i.e. CamelCase) to make it easier to read the words that make it up.
For example, it can figure out that:
- "portlandmeetings.com" should be "PortlandMeetings.com"
Unfortunately, in other cases, it can guess incorrectly. For example:
- "omidyardotnet.us" was capitalized to become "OMiDyardotnEt.us" when it should have been "OmidyarDotNet.us"
Fixing the Problem
...is easy, but you need to be logged in to do so. Once you are logged in, you will see a move option on top of every page. Use that to change the capitalization, and for extra credit* enter [[FixName]] in the edit summary so others can learn why you've made the change by clicking that link to this page.
* No actual credit given.
Other Instances
If someone manually creates the page and doesn't add the tld (.com and so on) or has a superfluous "www" the move page function is also used. In addition to consistency for domain pages this also restores the page's primary external link at the top left.
For example:
- Google should be moved to Google.com
- www.Google.com should be moved to Google.com
