How to change CamelCaseCapitalization

Article Capitalization

When AboutUs creates a domain page it tries to convert the domain name into upper and lower case automatically (i.e. CamelCase) to make it easier to read the words that make it up. Since it happened automatically, sometimes the capitalizations might be wrong or funny or both.

For example, it can figure out that:

"portlandmeetings.com" should be "PortlandMeetings.com"

Unfortunately, in other cases, it can guess incorrectly. For example:

pOrtLandmEetingS.com

Fixing the Problem

...is easy, but you need to be logged in to do so. Once you are logged in, you will see a rename option on top of every page in the brown bar just under the search bar. Use that to change the capitalization. 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.

Don't see "rename"?

• Make sure you're logged in.
• If you don't see any buttons (like page, history, rename) in the brown bar under the search bar this is because it is a new page that has not yet been edited. If you make an edit to the page (by clicking a green "edit" button) and then refresh the page (by holding ctrl+R on your keyboard) you should then see all these buttons at the top. If you need more help please contact us.

Convention

For the sake of consistency, these conventions are preferred:

• Most pages here are DomainPages in the format of Example.tld
• Using all caps (or all lowercase) makes it harder to read.
• No need to add 'www.' or 'http://' or both 'http://www.' in front of the domain name
• the tld (.com, .net, .org, etc.) is most often lowercase

* No actual credit given.
