As you might have been able to tell by my edits, I can be sort of a grammar nazi at times. As such, I find it kind of concerning that there is an inconsistency between certain ways of representing category names in movie titles.
It is unclear to me whether a category name in the title of a submission should be capitalized like the title of the game, or whether a category name should be treated like a regular phrase and be uncapitalized (except in the case of a proper noun, such as Ganon, being within a category name). It seems to also be unclear to everyone else which it should be. I don't have any direct opinion on the matter, but I just feel there should be some kind of consistency with it. It's always bugged me, honestly.
For instance, see the submission history
http://tasvideos.org/3537M.html here:
There's the earlier "all dungeons, temples & Ganon trials" movie, and then there's "All Dungeons, Temples & Ganon Trials".
Need I mention that neither title uses the Oxford comma either?
Then we have "No Doors, All Dungeons".
The submission "N64 The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 'Low%'" isn't done being judged, but it looks like the authors capitalized the L in "Low%". I've always kept percentage categories completely uncapitalized, such as "any%", or "low%", or "tutorial%", but that's just me.
You can then look at
http://tasvideos.org/2676M.html submission histories like the one for
Super Mario Bros. for the NES. All of these remain uncapitalized. For example, "maximum coins", "warpless", "walkathon", "warpless, walkathon".
Anyway, is there a particular reason that certain categories in movies are treated like titles, and some treated like non-titles? Like, which SHOULD it be? It seems like people have been confused about this for quite some time, since I've seen categories written in either fashion for lots of movies, and there seems to be no clear reason why people pick one or the other...unless...there's a discussion or something I'm missing.
The next obvious question, when we do agree on a consistency, would be how we should go about changing all the movies that failed to follow this consistency.
I know this seems like it's not a big deal, but the capitalization has always bugged and confused me, and now I finally feel like it's time to bring it up.
