Great idea to get this sorted out Rebecca!

I think we could take a lot of cues from the [official blog](http://blog.habitrpg.com/), which usually uses a consistent capitalisation scheme, and which is (I think) written by a single staff member (Lemoness).

Definitely capitalise things that are obviously proper names: Dread Drag'on, Habitica. The blog treats these things as proper names: events (Spring Fling), equipment (Rainbow Warrior Armor), boss names (Octothulu), background names (Coral Reef) (this list is not necessarily complete).

Usually, the blog does not treat these things as proper names: eggs and pets (seahorse), common words (egg, pet, quest, party, boss, etc).

I have a suggestion for a rough guide: if a player's account will have only one of a thing at any given time, then that's probably a proper name and should be capitalised (e.g., only one Octothulu will be attacking you at once, and only one Golden Sword exists at once). If the account can have many of a thing, then it's not a proper name (e.g., many seahorses).

The blog is a bit inconsistent with to-dos/To-Dos, d/Dailies, h/Habits, r/Rewards, but seems to use capitals usually.

Abbreviations (XP, GP, MP, HP) should definitely be capitalised.

I'd be cautious about capitalising everything because too many capitalised words can make text look odd. Some sentences would end up looking like titles. :) I think in general, anything that is clearly not a proper noun should not be capitalised, with the possible exception of Habits, Dailies, To-Dos, Rewards, since they are the primary focus of what HabitRPG is about.

I'm in two minds about rogue/Rogue (as is the wiki itself, as you've noticed). I'll search the blog a bit more about that.

A special note about "HabitRPG": in regular text, it's capitalised like that. However in the Blacksmith pages, (e.g, Guidance and others), there are several very specific, technical uses for a lower case version and they must not be changed.
