capitalisations.

Okay, I swapped old ideas and I reserve the right to change my mind again. Still more importantly. What gets capitalised when? Do JKR's fictional words get capitalised? Auror? Muggle? Quidditch Stadium? Spells?

LOL Depends which words you want. Auror, yes; Muggle, yes. I usually just go to Lexicon since I hate Wiki.

This page?

Betas do help with that (sometimes). ;)

I don't think some of them should but the fandom community insists on it. I keep getting annoyed with Quidditch being capitalized because the way I see it, I wouldn't capitalize 'Football' all the time so I shouldn't have to capitalize a similar sport all the time. But the fandom (and probably English) has it rules so I abide.

The Lexicon is my go-to for all my plotting, query-type needs.

Maybe because I've been using the Lexicon long before the wiki was a thing but I find thr Lexicon so much more user friendly. The Lexicon is a bookmarked site on my browser.
