 | This page in a nutshell: Article titles follow common usage and reliable sources. Redirects are necessary from any likely alternative punctuation or accent marks. |
The punctuation of titles is determined by common usage or the official name, just as with any other title. Titles are not followed with a period, even though sentence case is used. In general, titles are chosen to allow making the title bold in the lead sentence.
