What's with the lower case stuff? It looks really awkward. --BklynBruzer 21:33, 9 May 2007 (CDT)
- It's the standard though. I don't think it looks that bad. Btw, it's not necessary to revert right away in case of such a disagreement. Just bringing up on the talk page first is enough. --Serenity 01:04, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
- Its not in the middle of a sentance though it's in its own little sentance between the | signs. If I were to talk about a battlestar then fair enough. Battlestar however begins with a capital because it is the starting word. --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 03:21, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

Physically-seen ships only?
Despite the coolness of their recent discovery (a Battlestar Wiki exclusive!), I removed the two new battlestars from the list, as we don't have Solaria, or Triton or Atlantia there either, and it just musses up the template. --Spencerian 15:31, 14 May 2007 (CDT)
- Maybe we should make a template for "mentioned-only" ships? Or simply create a list of ships, a la List of Vipers? -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 16:22, 14 May 2007 (CDT)

- I concur with Shane. The categories work fine, and the Battlestar super-disambig is pretty good (if I do say so myself) for this idea as well. --Spencerian 10:34, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
