why small caps?

The article is formatted this way:

A history of Greek handwriting must be incomplete owing to the fragmentary nature of evidence. If one rules out the inscriptions on stone or metal, which belong to the science of <templatestyles src="smallcaps/styles.css"/>epigraphy, we are practically dependent for the period preceding the 4th or 5th century AD on the papyri from Egypt (cf. <templatestyles src="smallcaps/styles.css"/>papyrology)...

Why are epigraphy and papyrology in small caps? My instinct would be just to have them be wikilinks. Is there some specific Wikipedia style reason for this? --Jfruh (talk) 19:41, 4 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
