RFC on aligning role fields with mos filmcast guidelines

Hi,

According to MOS:FILMCAST, common nouns within roles should not be capitalised to distinguish between character names and job descriptions. Currently, the use of sentence case introduces ambiguity for readers; for instance, it does not clarify whether 'Joker' refers to a character name or if 'Joker' describes his job when no character name is provided. I encourage you to refer to my related discussion with the user's talk. Therefore, I recommend adopting lowercase for common nouns in the Role field to ensure alignment with MOS:FILMCAST.

@Anoopspeaks: Could you give an example of an article where this introduces ambiguity? jlwoodwa (talk) 15:36, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@Anoopspeaks: I'm sorry, I don't see which of those roles is ambiguous. Could you be more specific? jlwoodwa (talk) 16:38, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@Jlwoodwa In the filmography, his two character names, Monster T and The Gunsmith, are actual names in the movie, while The Dagger refers only to a dagger, not a character name. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 17:04, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
