Page title

Should this article really be named Rebellion against King Washington (alternate reality)? I thought the parentheticals were only used to distinguish similarly titled articles. Given that there is no other "Rebellion against King Washington", the parenthetical should be unnecessary. (Also it should be Rebellion Against King Washington, given that the lack of capitalization for prepositions only applies to ones that consist of 4 letters or less.) — Zero-ELEC (talk) 23:04, July 8, 2016 (UTC)

If I had to guess, I'd say the "(alternate reality)" is to show right off the bat that this event didn't happen in the main timeline. I see your point, but I don't think it's worth removing. It serves a purpose beyond disambiguation, I think. Also, your point about capitalising the word "against" would be true if this were the title of a novel or something. This wiki decided long ago that we no longer capitalise titles as though they're published works (unless the article is actually about a published work). We don't capitalise words unless they're the first word in the title or a proper noun. Though if there were an event in real history labelled "the Rebellion Against King Washington", I'm sure we would capitalise it. But the title is conjecture, so applying a capital letter wouldn't make much sense.

tl;dr - The title is conjecture so it shouldn't be capitalised. --Crimson Knight _Intercom 12:57, July 9, 2016 (UTC)
