Word usage

Based on this Reference desk conversation, I advocate the following:

When used as a noun to describe the body of knowledge or the practice there are three forms of the word, each of which has variants:

Kabbalah. Used when discussing the traditional Judaic mystical system. It has variant forms of Kabala, Kabalah, Kabbala, Kabballah, etc.
Cabala. Used when discussing the Christian interpretation which emerged in the Thirteenth century. It also has variant forms similar to those of Kabbalah.
Qabalah. Used when discussing the Hermetic interpretation which emerged in the late Sixteenth century. It has variants similar to the previous two.

When used as a noun it should be capitalized, as an adjective or adverb it should be lower case.

In the interests of consistency I'd like to see this applied to all article on the subject. Feel free to discuss this on my talk page if you'd like.

Contributions

What I consider to be significant contributions. In the grand scheme of things these may not seem significant, but it's a start. I'm learning my way around and in my own way trying to help.
