Note that season names are not capitalized in modern English except where any noun would be capitalized, e.g. at the beginning of a sentence or as part of a name (Old Man Winter, the Winter War, Summer Glau). This is in contrast to the days of the week and months of the year, which are always capitalized (Thursday or September).

A user has added this template page to requests for deletion(+).
Please see that page for discussion and justifications beyond the initial comment of: “this template will only ever be used in four pages…such niche use of templates only obfuscates entry code. Donald Knuth would label this as "premature optimization", i.e. the root of all evil.”. You may continue to edit this template page while the discussion proceeds, but please mention significant edits at the RFD discussion and ensure that the intention of votes already cast is not left unclear. Do not remove the {{rfd}} until the debate has finished.

This template is used in the "Usage note" sections of English names of seasons (such as summer). It takes no parameters and is implemented using normal wikitext.
