Noticed what seems to be an inconsistency in some of the titling for several of the TIE Series. The TIE Fighter is listed as the TIE/LN starfighter and interceptor as TIE/IN interceptor. However the bomber is listed as TIE/sa bomber and the shuttle as TIE/sh shuttle. There are a few others that either have or lack capitalization of the letters after "TIE/". For consistency (and perhaps to assuage my slight OCD) i propose that those TIE Series of the format TIE/XX where XX are both letters have both letters capitalized. However those that have TIE/x2 for example should stay with the x lowercase.

This wouldn't affect certain TIEs, such as the TIE Hunter, which i assume have no specific model id as yet.

This would simply mean moving a few of the pages and changing the designation in the article's body.

Oppose

1. If it's not capitalized in a source, we don't capitalize it here. There's really not much more that can be said. Trak Nar ^{Ramble on} 06:40, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

3. If that's how the sources capitalize them, that's how we have to capitalize them. Trip391 (talk) 06:45, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

5. We don't get to choose how to capitalize them. We go with what the sources say, and that's it. —MJ— _{War Room} 08:13, February 14, 2014 (UTC)
