Wikipedia style and naming

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Lead section

Should citations be included for most claims in an article's lead, just like in the body? 19:51, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers

Hi,

According to MOS:FILMCAST, common nouns within roles should not be capitalised to distinguish between character names and job descriptions. Currently, the use of sentence case introduces ambiguity for readers; for instance, it does not clarify whether 'Joker' refers to a character name or if 'Joker' describes his job when no character name is provided. I encourage you to refer to my related discussion with the user's talk. Therefore, I recommend adopting lowercase for common nouns in the Role field to ensure alignment with MOS:FILMCAST.
