There's a pervasive inconsistency in the capitalisation style used in these messages, not only amongst themselves, but also relative to other parts of the MediaWiki messages.

It is the general truth that sentence case is the style for MediaWiki messages. For instances, on this page we "Post comments". We don't "Post Comments". At Special:AllMessages itself we go to the "Next page" and "Last page" — not the "Next Page" and "Last Page".

However, within this module, for reasons totally obscure to me, we "Select a Board", "Start a Discussion", and "Manage Boards". Even mor e confusingly, this sudden penchant for capitalisation is not always present in the list of messages beginning with "forum". There are too many to list here, but I've stamped out most of the title case messages at tardis if you wanna look.
