 All Bulbapedia article titles not beginning with a number will have the first letter capitalized.  If you were to go to gold_version, it would be interpreted as 'Gold version'.  Note that the v in 'version' would ''not'' be capitalized unless specified.  Apostrophes will work in the link, i.e. <nowiki>http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbagarden's_history</nowiki>. However, it's advisable to not use apostrophes as they can generally be avoided in the title, as in the above case by just titling it "History of Bulbagarden".
-Page title conventions in the Wiki community dictate that all proper nouns are capitalized regardless of their placement in a title, whereas all other words are not capitalized.  Therefore, in a title, Pikachu, Lt. Surge, and Vermillion City would all be capitalized, but a page entitled "Electric surge" would not have the 's' in surge capitalized.  Book or game titles are considered proper nouns.
