Boldface
The topic is not a named event. The title of the article is merely descriptive. We can deduce that from the term "Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary" being found in only one published book. Both it and the more common description, "consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary", always appear in lower case, so they are not treated as proper names either. Merely descriptive titles should not be bolded per MOS:FIRST.

The boldface in this and similar cases is not only of no benefit to the reader but to their detriment because links to essential topics have to be scattered around the lead section instead of appearing in the lead sentence when the concepts are first introduced.

 * Boldfacing the title at first mention is fine and allowed, see WP:BOLDFACE. The links to the terms are easy to locate in the lead (I actually had to link 'consecration' so it was linked). There is no problem here, and of course the title is a descriptor of an event (or several events). Randy Kryn (talk) 15:41, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Of course it is fine and allowed. MOS:FIRST cites exceptions, however, and this would be one per MoS. This is a situation in which boldface does harm and no good. What benefit is there for the reader? Surtsicna (talk) 16:59, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I see no harm, and the benefit is to accent the topic per title (which is the purpose of all Wikipedia boldfaced first mentions). Randy Kryn (talk) 00:02, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Are readers not served better by linking essential topics as soon as they are brought up than by accenting the topic title? Surtsicna (talk) 00:51, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The topics are mentioned and linked in the lead paragraph, so nothing is lost either on home screens or mobile. Thanks again for the name change. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:00, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
