 * We have a naming convention on the wiki where all Production Buildings are treated as proper nouns, meaning the names of their pages will need to stay capitalized (so "Tackle Box" should stay as it is).

The statement above isn't conclusive, since "Tackle Box" is not a production building but a storage building. Yet it is a unique entity for every individual player, and could be considered a proper name.

And then there's town buildings. I know there's been a discussion about "Town" itself, but can't find any about the service buildings. I don't really understand. Why would "Tackle Box" be a proper name, but eg "Beach Café" not? Both could be general words or proper names. So either is fine with me, but I do think it would be prettier if all buildings would be capitalized. That's just a personal preference and not very important for the wiki at large. I would like to have a conclusive answer.

There's also Production Building, Production Buildings, Storage Buildings and Service Building pages themselves. Those can't be proper names. So I added those bookmarks to my "to rename" folder.

What about Frutti di Mare pizza. Why is it renamed to that and not "Frutti di mare pizza" as in Lamiah2o's post in the original thread? Is that just a mistake, or is there any particular reason for it? If it's a mistake, I don't mind renaming it.... I found some browser tricks to speed it up and make it easier along the way...

And then... the main menu. When I marked all redirect pages as candidates for deletion, I didn't consider the main menu. The Farm->Buildings->Animal shelters menu still has the capitals in the menu entries and uses the redirects. I don't think I can fix these myself.

The same applies to Farm->Crops-> Bush crops->Coffee Beans. It is marked as candidate for deletion.

The same will apply to Production Buildings, Storage Buildings and Service Building when I rename them.

There's something wrong with the Farm->Buildings->Animal shelters entry itself, it just points to the page I'm viewing, whichever page that is.

Btw, from wikipedia's page on proper noun: ''A distinction is normally made in current linguistics between proper nouns and proper names. By this strict distinction, because the term noun is used for a class of single words (tree, beauty), only single-word proper names are proper nouns: Peter and Africa are both proper names and proper nouns; but Peter the Great and South Africa, while they are proper names, are not proper nouns.''

So our multi-word buildings can have proper names, but not proper nouns. Fortunately, it doesn't make any difference for the page renames ;)
