I'm just curious is it really necessary to include Windows above all the information if the game is only available on that platform (not including consoles)? It just seems like if there is a Mac version then it should be properly labelled to avoid any confusion but otherwise it should just be assumed all the information is relevant to Windows.

Another quick thing is the capitalization, this was recently changed to lowercase some of the second parts of titles so for example "Game Data" to "Game data" I've seen several pages already conform to the old standard but is it really necessary to go back and amend this capitalization to all of the pages? The issue with making minor changes like that is getting everything to conform to it, this is why it shouldn't really be added unless absolutely necessary or unless a whole site edit could be made changing it all in one edit or a huge cleanup of some kind. Both of which I'm going to assume aren't possible or likely.

Thanks Pridit for all the contributions on the site lately, it's really appreciated and it's great to see new people here.

1) Regarding Windows header level 1- it's only necessary if there is a Mac or Linux version as well. Therefore you can take it out if there are no other OSes.

2) The 'sentence case' - I have chosen to use this capitalization method because it makes the titles and links much easier to read- The Upper Case For Headers And Page Names was getting excessive, and since then I've learned much more about what makes a good, usable and readable web style. Unfortunately I only got half-way through the sample article before I ran out of time to complete this.

My actual plan is to use ReplaceText to do all the necessary changes on every single page, so you don't have to worry about doing it for individual pages. However, we have run into a small issue with using it as we have had $wgCompressRevisions turned on, and there's no way to uncompress the pages to allow ReplaceText to work. Anyway I'm working on a solution which'll fix all the capitalisations.
