Starting on 11 December 2012, a major edit war took place on the Talk page of Star Trek Into Darkness about how the title of the movie should be capitalized, notable for its incredible length - as of 25 January 2013, there was over 2MB of text concerning the capitalization of the letter "i." Multiple websites have done articles on and/or have parodied or discussed the argument in other ways.

The correct capitalization of the word 'Into' in the movie title became a matter of some debate on Wikipedia and was subsequently mocked by xkcd author Randall Munroe. In a comic titled ' Star Trek into Darkness' he lampooned the fact that over forty thousand words of debate had been produced on the issue. Daily Dot writer Kevin Morris noted the debate spanned over two months. Morris also recognized director J.J. Abrams' propensity for clever marketing tactics and speculated that "perhaps Abrams knew what he was getting into when he gave his film such a grammatically bizarre title." Guy Keleny, The Independent's top grammarian, compared it to David Garnett's novel Lady Into Fox (incidentally, Wikipedia use a lowercase 'i' for this title as well), noting that a quick internet search indicated that most publishers used a capital 'I'.
