editShouldn't this be spelled Take on Helicopters rather than Take On Helicopters ? Kintaro (talk) 03:18, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Kintaro, per MOS:TITLECAPS, all verbs (including phrasal verbs) are capitalized. The verb here is "to take on", so "Take On Helicopters" is the correct capitalization. It would be a different story if "Take" was a noun here, as in "A Bird's Take on Helicopters". Regards, IceWelder [✉] 07:42, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

- No, titles are complicated. You lowercase prepositions, but not adjectives or adverbs. So, it'd be "Helicopters on a Hill", but in this case "on Helicopters" isn't a prepositional phrase indicating where, but instead "Take On" is the whole verb, and "Helicopters" is what you take on. --PresN 13:58, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
