The "into" in the title should have a capital I, but I have no idea how to change the title. Someone do it please! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ophias (talk • contribs) 21:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

No. "into" is a preposition with less than 5 letters. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:52, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with the title.--User woxihuanvictor (talk) 04:12, 12 September 2012 (UTC)woxihuanvictor

"Not" and "You" have three letters, while 'into' has four. So, how does that work? Charlr6 (talk) 18:13, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

• into should be capitalised. It is not the small word as in "The cat walked into the house", but a euphamism for "enamoured for". --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:57, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Hey Smokey Joe. Nice to see you on here as well. But you are right. Wonder if anyone else from the other page will come over here after spying on our contributions or something, haha. The words 'of' and 'the' should be lower case, never seen them on capital. But the word 'into' is, more of a, can't remember the word, but kind of more of a statement so its acceptable.

MOS:CT states that we should not capitalise "prepositions containing four letters or fewer". As "into" is a preposition of four letters, it should not be capitalised. Simple. --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:24, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Hmm - on second thoughts, maybe it isn't that simple. It could be that "be into" is a phrasal verb, and therefore "into" forms a particle of said verb. --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:49, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

I don't think "phrasal verb" really explains this fairly complex construction. Instead I think it squarely matches wikt:into #6

I'm really into Shakespeare right now.

I'm so into you!

and is simply not a preposition. No? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:38, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

In this particular case, the word "into" is not used as a typical preposition, and is in fact a rather important part of the film title. In this case, the word replaces the phrase "enamoured with", and is central to the meaning of the title. This title is made up almost entirely of "small, insignificant" words, and it just seems odd that one of the six words is randomly lowercase. The WP MoS is not rigid policy and is subject to context. My two cents. Torvik (talk) 06:22, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Torvik is correct. The word is not being used as a preposition, but means "enamoured with". Without a VERY RS to justify using ANY uncapitalized words in this title (except occasional artistic liberties taken in advertisements), we should capitalize all the words. Unless objections are forthcoming fairly quickly, I'll restore the previous version. This is a case where RS must trump any misapplication of MoS, IOW IAR.

So....IF anyone has a RS that confirms that using an uncapitalized "into" is the officially sanctioned proper use, please produce it. For example, if the authors actually have gone on record that the book and movie were wrong to use a capitalized "Into" (and they do use it in caps all the way through the book's TOC!), then we could consider it, but without such a RS, we should use common sense. Wikipedia should not be the only place doing this. We are supposed to reflect RS, not dictate what the rest of the world should be doing, and telling everyone else that they are in fact doing it wrong. -- Brangifer (talk) 04:48, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
