Unnecessary capitalization of "Logging Stand"[]

The page was completely fine before, so I suggest undo the renaming, and all the wording inside article which uses "Logging Stand". Also, it should be linked as logging stand, because this is not a name. Kewpies (talk) 12:22, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

The page was edited to reflect how it is displayed in the game. Both words are capitalized, as are any of the items in that particular section of the inventory. --N00bKing (talk) 17:18, January 15, 2015 (UTC)
Yeah, but it is a type of a resource, so following the grammar rules it should be small letters. In-game words are often capitalized as part of titles or descriptions, which makes it confusing, but a general rule is that unless it is a name, don't capitalize it. It might be hard to distinguish when to do it and when not (for me also), but I know for sure that resources such as herbs and ores are not typically capitalized. I'll try to give examples: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Lyrium_vein, http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Orichalcum, http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Essences_and_fonts, http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Deep_Mushrooms
So logging stands and quarries definitely small letters, general job titles such as the Inquisition requisition officers, commanders, healers, merchants etc also. War table, operations, missions, quests also small letters. General enemy types such as mages, demons, templars, spiders small letters. (in running text)
An old discussion about naming can be found here (not sure how consensual it is, but it looks like they built some guidelines based on this) http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:In-game_wording <-Kewpies (talk) 17:50, January 15, 2015 (UTC)
