			== Clarification on a few items ==

			Hello team,

			I am looking to update the asteroids page with information on spawn rate since it is so obtuse currently.

			I found this page that includes sudo-code allegidly plulled from reverse engineering factorio code: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1gz08vz/asteroid_spawn_testing/

			The spawn rate testing from the OP definitely seems reliably enough to add as a "community testing shows" but I wanted to check if there were rules about linking to the reddit page for further reading or including information gained from reverse engineering the games code.

	I would like to question this policy. I spent several months over on the FTB Wiki (and previously admin'd the now dead GregTech Community Wiki), and on them we had the opposite policy: capitalize all words in page names, on the grounds that each page name is a full proper noun. We had this policy because it would actually improve readability, in that it makes it very clear that the term being discussed is the object that is defined on that other page, rather than the term being a more general word. (For example: "Steam engine" makes Steam significant but the word "engine" could be just an engine powered by steam; whereas "Steam Engine" makes it more clear that the full term is a proper noun that refers to the actual [[Steam engine\|Steam Engine]].)

			== Language, Page name capitalization ==

			"Page names should only be capitalized at the first word, with some exceptions. Essentially, Petroleum gas, and not Petroleum Gas. This is both for readability and for the internal code of the wiki to work correctly."
