If I know for a fact that all pages <span style="font-style: italic;">should</span>
be "Designing_Headers", then I will use that format. I can not
find the page I followed to get to the template hierarchy page, that I
originally referenced, but any I see today are all Template_Hierarchy.
Go figure. The external linking is the odd case, for sure.
And if I come across any links that look wrong, I will bring it to
someone's attention. Thanks for clarifying things.<br>

Titles in the Codex are very consistent in form, but in function they<br>are more complicated.<br><br>According to the guidelines for the Codex, titles follow the rules of<br>Title Case, so Template Hierarchy is that way, but The Loop in Action is
<br>The_Loop_in_Action. <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Codex:Guidelines">http://codex.wordpress.org/Codex:Guidelines</a> more<br>specifically: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Codex:Guidelines#Titles">http://codex.wordpress.org/Codex:Guidelines#Titles
</a>. Now,<br>some of the older documents from when the Codex was new should all have<br>been changed to the proper title case, but some still get caught. If you<br>find one, then please let the docs team know so we can fix it right away
<br>so all the titles are consistent.<br><br>Now, this is where it gets confusing.<br><br>If you are creating a link within the Codex to another page in the<br>Codex, you must use the EXACT upper and lower case structure of the
<br>original file. So [[the Loop in Action]] won't work. Neither will<br>[[the loop in action]]. It has to be [[The Loop in Action]], usually<br>without the underlines though that will work, too, it's just ugly.<br>We've made some redirects for things like The_Loop, the_loop, and
<br>The_loop to accommodate this.<br><br> From outside of the Codex, any incoming link will work such as<br><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/The_loop_in_Action">http://codex.wordpress.org/The_loop_in_Action</a>. Case doesn't matter, it
<br>will work.<br><br>Now, from the forum....we need to do some tests to see what works. If it<br>only uses the Mediawiki constraints for links within the Codex to<br>another Codex page, then we are stuck with the exact capitalization. If
<br>it works as though it is an external link, then it doesn't matter. So<br>which is it? Let's do some tests.<br><br>Miklb, do you want to do some tests on this? You can either test it in<br>practice, or on the thread that announced the links to the Codex and say
<br>"this is a test of the links" and then post it so we can see the<br>results. When we have the results and the Codex is fixed and able to be<br>edited (hopefully today or tomorrow), then we can write up a page that
<br>helps volunteers and others understand how this really should work.<br><br>Thanks for bringing it to our attention.<br><br>Lorelle<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>wp-docs mailing list<br>
