Wikipedia Style
Sentence case for encyclopedias

Wikipedia Style uses sentence case for all article titles and section headings, capitalizing only the first word and any proper nouns. It is the editorial standard of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Wikipedia Style applies to all Wikipedia articles and other Wikimedia projects. It is also adopted by technical documentation projects and wikis that want a neutral, readable tone.

Uppercase
ALL CAPITALS

Uppercase converts every letter to its capital form without exception. It is used for warning labels, legal notices, acronyms, design contexts, and any text requiring maximum visual weight.

All caps is appropriate for short, high-emphasis phrases, system alerts, and design headlines. Extended uppercase text is harder to read and should be used sparingly.
