Capitalization
I'm not sure--is "Vitamin" supposed to be capitalized in sentence case? I often see it lower case, but that could be technically wrong. --DavidB4 (TALK) 16:33, 23 October 2020 (EDT)
- I do see the term in lowercase as well, though it might be better to capitalize it. —

Here's a Reddit thread about it. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/3v44oy/grammatically_why_shouldnt_the_word_vitamin_be/ Sievert 81 (talk) 17:44, 23 October 2020 (EDT)
- I just tended to notice that the CP style is to capitalize more often than not in certain optional situations; for one example, the "District" in Template:Officeholder/representative is capitalized even if doesn't need to be. —
