Description Thehelpfulone 2013-01-26 15:53:56 UTC
The default version is:

By clicking the "Save page" button, you agree to the Terms of use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license.


For the sake of proper capitalisation, can we change "Terms of use" to "Terms of Use", with the linked page being https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use (Terms of use already redirects to it).

Hasn't this been corrected?

Not that I'm aware of - which wiki are you looking at, I'm looking at the page on wikimania2013.wikimedia.org which uses the default language, I think it may be custom fixed on enwiki though.
Comment 3 MZMcBride 2013-02-07 10:24:21 UTC
I think it should be "terms of use" because it's in the middle of a sentence and there's no need to capitalize a common noun, as I see it.

There's a default version and then local wikis can customize the message. For example, compare [[MediaWiki:Wikimedia-copyrightwarning]] and [[wmf:MediaWiki:Wikimedia-copyrightwarning]].
Comment 4 Thehelpfulone 2013-02-07 20:51:30 UTC
Legal response was either capitalisation (between Terms of use and Terms of Use) is acceptable, but preference to "Terms of Use" as it is a proper noun.
