~~Wikipedia~~ avoids unnecessary [[capitalization]]. ~~Most capitalization~~ is ~~for [[proper name]]s or for [[acronym]]s~~. ~~Wikipedia~~ relies on ~~sources~~ to determine what is a proper name; words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in ~~sources~~ are treated as proper names and capitalized ~~in Wikipedia~~.

The UniWiki avoids unnecessary [[Wikipedia:Capitalization|capitalization]]. However, EVE (and by extension, the UniWiki) is unique in that most ships, modules, and other items in the game are referred to in the title case; that is, each word is capitalized. The UniWiki relies on in-game information to determine what is a proper name; words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in-game are treated as proper names and capitalized on the UniWiki.

There are exceptions for specific cases discussed below.

==Do not use for emphasis==
