Off-topic contributions will be considered reason for immediate removal of the content (by the administrative team using an appropriate mechanism such as rolling back the content or deleting the page) and banning the user creating that content.
=== Titles ===
Pages that are the titles of tasks (and draft tasks) should always have the first letter in their name capitalized (this might even be enforced by Media Wiki) and other words should not be capitalized ''except'' if they are [[wp:Proper noun|proper nouns]] or abbreviations, which should ''always'' be capitalized. Thus, “[[Start from a main routine]]” (only the first letter is capitalized), “[[Conway's Game of Life]]” (“Game of Life” is capitalized that way on Wikipedia, and “Conway” would be as well, but that's capitalized because of the first letter rule) and “[[URL encoding]]” (“URL” is an abbreviation). Where an abbreviation is done in a non-standard way by convention, the correct form (that is, the form used by the people who originally defined it) should be used.
Language and library pages should use the name of the language/library as their name (but [[#Profanity|see below]] also).
Other pages ought to also conform to these rules, but enforcement might not be as rapid there. (The [[Rosetta Code:Village Pump|Village Pump]] is always capitalized like that.)
