Capitalization in context
[edit]"Combiner" is capitalized by Hasbro in Generations product descriptions, presumably for marketing reasons. Ergo, we should follow context when a page utilizes only 1 or 2 continuities, should we not? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 19:32, 27 September 2018 (EDT)
- Considering that we don't capitalize the word "combiner" for the pages of Generations-original combiners Ultra Prime and Galvatronus, I suggest not capitalizing "combiner" for the PotP combiners, for the sake of consistency. ShootingStar7X (talk) 22:36, September 27, 2018 (EST)
