Description

Current Situation

Backend modules in TYPO3 v10.4-dev currently show an inconsistent capitalization:

  • main module Site Management (first letter of both words upper-case)
  • main module Admin tools (first letter of 2nd word lower-case)
  • sub-module Backend user (first letter of 2nd word lower-case)
  • sub-module DB check (first letter of 2nd word lower-case)

Personally I liked the previous state with titles of main modules upper-case (all letters), but I assume there was a reason why this has been changed.
However, we should make the capitalization consistent.

Option 1:

  • main modules: first letter of both words upper-case (e.g. "Admin Tools").
  • sub-modules: first letter of both words upper-case (e.g. "Backend Users").

This would be a simple, easy-to-understand and follow, and logical solution in my view.

Option 2:

  • main modules: first letter of both words upper-case (e.g. "Admin Tools").
  • sub-modules: first letter of first word upper-case, all other words lower-case (e.g. "Backend users").

Option 3:

  • main modules: all letters upper-case (e.g. "ADMIN TOOLS").
  • sub-modules: first letter of both words upper-case (e.g. "Backend Users").

Option 4:

  • main modules: all letters upper-case (e.g. "ADMIN TOOLS").
  • sub-modules: first letter of first word upper-case, all other words lower-case (e.g. "Backend users").

Consistency is important. I agree that Option 1 (title-case) is probably the simplest solution.

Sentence case is easier to read and digest, but for short UI labels such as these, title case is a good option.
