Title in capital letters in the timeline and in review queues

Question

I was checking the timeline of a question when I found out the title shows in capital letters:

TIMELINE FOR HOW TO HANDLE A HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYEE BUT WHO REACTS EXTREMELY EMOTIONALLY TO CODE REVIEWS?

I initially thought that this could well be because of an original upper case title, but it is not the case.

Then, I checked a couple of timelines more and this happens also: 1, 2, as well as in the answers: 1, 2.

I also noticed the title shows in capital letters in the review queues. See it in a close vote and first posts:

This is not happening in other Stack Exchange sites I checked.

How do you view a timeline? Does this happen on all questions, or just some of them? — David K, Commented Dec 12, 2016 at 14:17
@DavidK this is one of the unlinked pages. All posts have a timeline. Just get its ID and then open posts/ID/timeline. For example, this post's timeline is meta.workplace.stackexchange.com/posts/4127/timeline — fedorqui, Commented Dec 12, 2016 at 14:20
@fedorqui that's pretty cool. I really need to delve more into the SE api stuff. — Chris E, Commented Dec 12, 2016 at 14:56

I am going to assume that this is because the font for page headers at the Workplace is an all-caps font.

Unlike at other sites, which use upper and lower case

The timeline pages at Home Improvement, which also uses an all-caps font for headers, would seem to confirm this.

This can well be the case!! The case of Home Improvement seems to confirm it.

Yeah, the CSS styling is actually applying the uppercase in some of those places (probably all of them, but I haven't gone looking). It appears to be intentional.

@MonicaCellio yes, there is this .subheader h1 that has a text-transform: uppercase. Glad to know this was intentional, thanks! Note it looks cool in the front page, etc, but for timeline and review it looks like they are shouting to us :)
