When acronyms are accepted in language and are pronounced, like Nato or Aids, use lower case; all others have capitals. Ensure any abbreviation is spelled out in full the first time it appears on a page, with the abbreviated form given in brackets e.g. NERC Executive Board (NEB). If essential, a page title may use an abbreviation as long as the full name is given in the first sentence.
