Capitalization
Am editor wrote on an edit comment that “if the link has to be piped to decapitalise, then the original is not in contravention of MOS:JOBTITLES”. This is incorrect. MOS:JOBTITLES doesn’t relate to linking. Instead, MOS:JOBTITLES states that modified job titles (job titles preceded by adjectives like “32nd”, “the”, “acting”, and “next’) are correctly lowercased. — Eyer (If you reply, add   to your message to let me know.) 11:58, 29 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Support edit by . Capitalisation of article titles when used as links can be context sensitive. At the very least, article titles are written in sentence case and should be rendered in lower case as a link if they are not a "proper name" (and not at the start of a sentence.  Capitalisation of "jobtitles" is context specific per the guideline.  All of the cases downcased by Eyer are "preceded by a modifier". Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 07:16, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Agreed with Eyer and Cinderella157. The unspecified reverter-to-overcapitalisation's rationale is simply false, or the guideline in question would not exist.  And "minimizing the number of piped links", as it were, is not any kind of Wikipedia goal, or link piping would not be a feature.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  14:42, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
