Does this need to be capitalized?
I was reading MAC wikipedia article and found that the title is written as Medium access control. As it's a full form of MAC so it should be written as Medium Access Control.

I’m not sure if anyone will understand this but I want to be able to make Wikipedia playlists
Im not sure if this makes sense at all but I was just looking at the Wikipedia article about the Venetian Arsenal and I started thinking “wow I really wish I could make a playlist of all the things I like from the civilization games on Wikipedia that would be cool” and then I was like “wow that’s incredible” anyways tell me your thoughts on this agree or disagree.

What is the difference between "Notable appearances in media" and "In pop culture"?
