Money's Too Tight (to Mention)Money's Too Tight (To Mention) – The word "to" is capitalised in this consensus, it's at the start of an open bracket Hadji87 (talk) 14:27, 26 March 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:56, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Why? If a word is at the start of an open bracket, it's classed as a new sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.239.180 (talk) 19:12, 26 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Suppport: Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Music#Capitalization, which was mentioned by user In ictu oculi, refers to MOS:CT, and MOS:CT clearly states "For titles with subtitles or parenthetical phrases, capitalize as if they were separate titles". Darkday (talk) 11:13, 28 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. MOS:CT also says "Prepositions containing four letters or fewer" shouldn't be capitalized unless they are the first word of a title. The MOS example "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" has the parenthetical part leading and it isn't a preposition. I think this is a case where local consensus can overrule MOS.

  • Oppose. It makes sense for the title outside the parentheses and would make sense if the title within parentheses is a phrase that would work on it's own (like a subtitle), but when the parenthetical is a simply a continuation of the title, it makes the most sense to treat it the same as if it didn't have parentheses at all. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 00:03, 12 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
