one rule to bind them all

As in Wikipedia.en, only the first word of every page is capitalized, unless some words are capitalized in the English language (i.e. proper nouns, days of week, etc.).
e.g.: Naming conventions; New York, New York; Category:Not reached - Mother Nature.

Achievement pages shall include the word "achievement". Consolation prize pages shall include the word "consolation prize".
The corresponding ribbon shall be named [[Template:X]] for the X achievement or consolation prize.
The corresponding category shall be named identical to the achievement.
e.g.: Abduction achievement, Template:Abduction, Category:Abduction achievement (<-contains one misnomer, currently)

Avoid words in page titles that have variant english spellings (e.g. ize/ise, our/or, and the doubled l in participles)

... and if you can't avoid it, make a redirect from any valid spelling.

-I would like to move a few pages around, to make them adhere to some simple to remember naming conventions. The following therefore is a suggestion, please feel free to discuss, add and comment. When there is enough of a consensus, [[User:ReletBot|ReletBot]] could do the dirty work. -- [[User:relet|relet]] 15:35, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

-I support both. I would have argued for book title capitalization, but the Wikipedia standard is reluctantly acceptable to me.
-I also suggest avoiding words in page titles that have variant english spellings (e.g. ize/ise, our/or, and the doubled l in participles). So use "Travel" instead of "Travelling," for example. -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 17:05, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
-More support for the whole thing. That capitalization chaos is currently the worst thing about categori(z/s)ing. --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 21:22, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
