Description Raimond Spekking 2009-06-19 14:16:59 UTC 
Bug 1553 was the same for Monobook skin.

It was fixed with r49331/r49350/r51924/r52017

I suggest to do the same for the Modern skin.

Comment 2 The Evil IP address 2010-12-08 16:13:55 UTC 
Since the CSS class .capitalize-all-nouns is already in Modern, the only thing to be done would be to copy the code block with the .capitalize-all-nouns to the Modern CSS http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/skins/modern/main.css?revision=77886&view=markup (or alternatively directly to the common skin)

Thus marking as easy.

Addition: code block in this file http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/skins/monobook/main.css?revision=77886&view=markup

Comment 5 Philippe Verdy 2011-10-23 21:13:49 UTC 
Actually, there should not be any case conversion at all for hadings in the navbar. Capitals are may be preferred in English, mandatory for nouns in German, but undesirable in French (where titlecase is almost NEVER wanted), if they are part of a list of items (only the title of the navbar may capitalize ONLY the first letter of the first word).
The correct capitalization should never be enforced by style, but only from the per-language tranlations.
The same is true about language names: no capitals at all in French, capitals almost always in English, except some African language names using prefixes like "isiXhosa" where the capital is moved forward to the first letter of the main radical).
Never assume any English-only style. They are not desirable in many languages. Each language has its own preferences and conventions, sometimes very strong grammatically and semantically.
Comment 6 Purodha Blissenbach 2011-10-23 21:47:50 UTC 
Fully agreed. If a wiki wants special capitalizations, it can always have them via local CSS, which in the future can even be made language-aware, once correct language tagging is complete,
Comment 7 matanya 2012-07-05 06:47:48 UTC 
I agree too, hence I'm closing it as won't fix.
Comment 8 Purodha Blissenbach 2012-07-05 07:05:23 UTC 
I do not completely understand.
Has everything been resolved which was forcing capitalization or lowercasing via CSS?
