Regardless of anything else, I personally feel pretty strongly that it looks better if articles on this wiki use book title-style capitalization. And as I said before, I feel like the fact that an article is being written about a subject makes it more of a proper noun just by virtue of having its own article.

I also defer to momentum here, with the vast majority of articles already using capitalization in this way. I would rather continue as it is without reworking all those pages, and leaving all those capitalized variants redirecting to non-capitalized versions, plus all the links throughout the wiki linking to capitalized variants...it would be a nightmare to change it, and for practically zero benefit at this point.

If someone was going to change this, they would need to commit to changing ALL of it, and as quickly as possible. Something I get a sense of on this wiki is that style changes have often been made in the form of "starting now, this is how we're doing it moving forward, and we'll fix old pages as we come across them," which has resulted in a very inconsistent feel to a lot of little elements across the wiki. Things like changing a template box to a new format or layout, with many pages still left using old or different style boxes, etc. Consistency is important, so when a change is decided upon people need to be careful to copy that consistency across all instances. And this change to capitalization seems like a monumental task, and one that I wouldn't have any interest in pursuing myself either.

In some ways it feels a little like a variation of this comic: https://xkcd.com/927/
