The consensus is only the first word after Category should be capped unless it is a title. At the moment the Category list shows both ways but this is being worked on.
Band member names waiver between stage and real names depending on their stated desire. Band members should be listed in the order of Marilyn Manson, lead guitarist, bassist, keyboardist if one, then drummer.
[[Category:Marilyn Manson]] [[Category:Twiggy]] [[Category:Scott Putesky]] [[Category:Stephen Bier]]

- The consensus is the Spooky Kids era was from the beginning (1989) though July 31, 1992 when the Spooky Kids moniker was dropped for just Marilyn Manson. For articles/tours, etc., use the [[Category:1989-1995 era]] category until the Dead to the World tour. This leaves a question of what should be used for the 1996 dates performed in the Smells Like Children Tour. At the moment they only say Tour dates.
