Utilisateur:Ian Streeter/Composition title naming conventions

In books, songs, albums etc., every word should be capitalized except:

  • Any preposition shorter than five characters (of, to, on, in, for, with)
  • Articles (a, an, the)
  • Coordinating conjuctions (and, but, or, nor, [only if this is used as a conjuction] yet)

The following words (many are believed to be uncapitalized) should be capitalized:

  • the first and last word of the title
  • every adjective, adverb, noun or pronoun (Me, It, His etc.), verbs [especially verbs like to be to be uncapitalized]: (Be, Am, Is, Was, Are, Were, Been)

If songs are parenthesized, treat them like they are two separate titles except if the last word of the parenthesized title is a preposition, article, or coordinating conjuction ["(Don't Fear) The Reaper", "(The Same Thing Happens with) The Birds and the Bees"]

In French (and all other languages except English) are all words to be uncapitalized ("Aff un zo").

NOTE: I got most of this information from en:MOS:CT and just copied it from there but in my own words.
