- This is a subpage of Wikipedia:Requested moves, from which a set of proposals and long discussion on them have been moved in order to reduce traffic on that page.
The reason for all of these moves is the same: according to WP:CAPS and WP:MUSTARD, prepositions under four letters aren't capitalized in titles. The following hidden list contains almost all of the prepositions that shouldn't be capitalized under the five-letter cutoff rule (that is, if they are being used as prepositions):
A huge list of prepositions
This policy is being discussed here and here. Xnux the Echidna 00:24, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
