Sentence case appears to be the de facto standard. The majority of pages here use Sentence case. Several that used Title Case were renamed to use Sentence case, but there are those that were never changed, especially the weapons. So, the weapons pages should actually get renamed to use Sentence case. Although the priority may be to get Zesty to approve a page that outlines such standards.

Using Sentence case makes linking pages easy and clean. Whereas using Title Case complicates things, as shown here:

A link written in Title Case, [[Pump Shotgun]], naturally shows inline as Title Case. Output: [[Pump Shotgun]]
But to follow standard English rules, we should capitalize proper nouns, not common nouns.

To fix it we have to create the link as [[Pump Shotgun|pump shotgun]]. Output: [[Pump Shotgun|pump shotgun]]


But when we use Sentence case we can simply write [[dining chair]].

A [[dining chair]] is more comfortable than a stool.
Output: A dining chair is more comfortable than a stool.

You can still capitalize as needed:

[[Dining chair]]s can be made of metal or wood.
Output: Dining chairs can be made of metal or wood.
