Preferred style for Wiki article titles and categories?

 

I notice some members use camel case when titling Wiki articles, others (like me until I noticed ;-( ) use title caps and spaces.
Is there a preferred style? If it’s not mine, LMK and I’ll copy my articles to a new pages with correct title style and let someone with admin rights delete the errant ones.

On a related note, it does seem like camel case is the preferred style for categories. I inadvertently created a QtDevelopment/Qt Mobility subcategory before correcting the article to use QtDevelopment/QtMobility. Now both categories appear in the browsing tree, with the wrong one empty. I assume this needs to be corrected by an admin?

I personally prefer CamelCase and IIRC I stated that somewhere on the wiki help page at some point. Seems it has disappeared somehow… I will add it again.

I deleted Qt_Mobility. Thanks for pointing it out.

I thought I had seen it here, but when I couldn’t find it again I figured I either dreamed it or remembered a different site.

I copied the two articles into correctly-titled ones http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/ModelViewOptionsInQt and http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/CodeExamplesSensorsAPI

Please delete http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Model_-_View_Options_using_Qt and http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Sensors_Code_Examples_using_Qt_Mobility_API
