Comment (by utofizewu1978):

 Thank you for bringing this issue to attention, specifically the
 inconsistency in title case rules for the template names defined in the
 `customTemplates` section of the `theme.json` file for the Twenty Twenty-
 Four theme. Consistency in naming conventions is crucial for maintaining
 clarity and professionalism within a codebase, and adhering to strict
 title case for custom template names can significantly enhance readability
 and user experience.

 Let's analyze the suggested changes and their implications:

 1. **Page No Title**: This proposed name follows strict title case
 conventions, where each word in the title is capitalized. It effectively
 communicates that the associated page template does not include a title.

 2. **Page With Sidebar > Page with Sidebar**: The suggested change
 involves adjusting "With" to lowercase, resulting in "Page with Sidebar."
 This adjustment aligns with standard title case rules, where conjunctions
 and prepositions are typically lowercase unless they are the first or last
 word in the title.

 3. **Page with wide Image > Page with Wide Image**: Here, the suggested
 change involves capitalizing "Wide" to maintain consistency and clarity.
 While "Image" may be considered a minor word, "Wide" in this context
 serves as an integral part of the title and warrants capitalization.

 4. **Single with Sidebar**: It appears there was no suggested change for
 this template name. However, to maintain consistency, "with" should be
 lowercase, resulting in "Single with Sidebar."

 By implementing these changes, the template names in the `theme.json` file
 will adhere to strict title case conventions consistently. This not only
 enhances readability but also ensures professionalism and coherence within
 the theme's codebase.

 To apply these changes effectively, developers can utilize various
 approaches, such as manual editing of the `theme.json` file, automated
 scripts or tools for bulk renaming, or integration with development
 environments to enforce naming conventions. Regardless of the approach
 chosen, ensuring that all template names follow the same standardized
 title case rules is essential for maintaining a cohesive and user-friendly
 theme.

 In conclusion, adopting strict title case in custom template names for the
 Twenty Twenty-Four theme will contribute to a more polished and
 professional user experience. Thank you for your suggestion, and I
 encourage the implementation of these changes to improve consistency and
 clarity within the theme's codebase.

 i hope this will help!
