Should the word "smasher" be written with a capital "S", or a lowercase one? The article [[Smasher]] uses lowercase, but I've seen it with an uppercase S in a bunch of other places. Personally I think it makes more sense to use a lowercase "s", since most words of similar application (like builder, driver, player) are not treated like proper nouns. However, "Smash Bros." and its variants are always written in capitals. Is there a consensus?

Should the word "smasher" be written with a capital "S", or a lowercase one? The article Smasher uses lowercase, but I've seen it with an uppercase S in a bunch of other places. Personally I think it makes more sense to use a lowercase "s", since most words of similar application (like builder, driver, player) are not treated like proper nouns. However, "Smash Bros." and its variants are always written in capitals. Is there a consensus? Mako Shark (talk) 11:15, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
