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?

I love template, but that's too much. ;-) If we really think or more information about the mentioned only stuff comes about then I say template it up. Shane (T - C - E) 06:11, 15 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)
