There seem to two places title case is discussed - Letter case#Case styles and Capitalization#Title case. The page currently redirects to the former - what do people think? --IslandHopper 973 10:34, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
Examples?
editCould there be at least one example that shows what this is about? - preferably two or three. --User:Haraldmmueller 14:06, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
English as a worldwide language?
editAll the cited style guides seem to be American, even if some have a wider use. Perhaps guides from other English-speaking countries could be added? FloweringOctopus (talk) 13:51, 31 December 2022 (UTC) FloweringOctopus (talk) 13:41, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
Update "Chicago Manual of Style"?
editRules in the later 16th edition (8.157) are slightly different (e.g., second part of species name always lowercase, even at the end). Update, ideally to what the latest 17th edition says (which I don’t have)? 134.102.230.249 (talk) 15:12, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
MLA, hyphenated words: clarification needed
edit- "*Capitalize all major words..., including the second part of hyphenated major words (e.g., Self-Report not Self-report).
- "*Lowercase the second word after a hyphenated prefix... in compound modifiers (e.g., Mid-year, Anti-hero, etc.)."
The distinction is not obvious to non-grammarians: why is the prefix seen as part of the verb or noun in case 1, rendering BOTH parts as one single "major word", but not in case 2? Why Self-Report but Mid-year? Not clear IMO in current explanation, the distinction should be explained in a way one can easily understand and apply. Thanks!

Capitalization of with in AMA
editAccording to https://titlecaseconverter.com/ "with" is capitalized in AMA, while the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case claims the opposite. Which is correct? 89.113.157.188 (talk) 17:33, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
