This is a documentation subpage for Template:Italic title. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template uses Lua: |
Template:Italic title italicizes page titles. Article titles cannot contain wiki formatting, such as ''
, so article titles cannot be italicized in the normal way. This template has the following effects:
- Titles with no parentheses
()
are fully italicised:Foo
→ FooTalk:Foo
→ Talk:Foo
- Titles which contain parentheses are italicised before the first opening parenthesis:
Foo (bar)
→ Foo (bar)Talk:Foo (bar)
→ Talk:Foo (bar)
- Italicization can be forced on parenthesized text with the
|all=yes
parameter.
Meta templates which use this template should place {{Auto italic title}} in their documentation.
Contents
Location on page[edit]
Add this template at the very top of the page, above everything else. There ought to be no blank line after {{Italic title}} because that will cause an extra blank line in the page's rendered appearance.
Usage[edit]
Basic usage[edit]
{{Italic title}}
All parameters[edit]
{{Italic title|noerror|string=text in title|all=yes}}
Parameters[edit]
|1=
: if this is set to|1=noerror
, error messages are suppressed. See #Errors for more details.|all=
: if this is set to|all=yes
, text in parentheses is italicized.|string=
: instead of italicizing the whole title, italicize only some specific text. For example, using|string=Ally McBeal
on the page "List of Ally McBeal episodes" would result in "List of Ally McBeal episodes".
{{DISPLAYTITLE:Desired Title}}
can be used instead in cases not covered by the parameters, e.g. two substrings with italics, or italics combined with lowercase first character.
Errors[edit]
Sometimes you may see red error messages like this at the top of the page:
Warning: Display title "<i>Article title (disambiguation)</i>" overrides earlier display title "<i>Article title</i> (disambiguation)".
This usually means that there is another instance of {{Italic title}} on the page, usually added by one of the infoboxes. Certain infoboxes, add {{Italic title}} by default. Check the template documentation for any infobox used on the page; it may have instructions about how to deal with italic titles. You may be able to adjust the italics from the infobox instead of using {{Italic title}} at the top of the article. Or if that doesn't work, you may be able to disable the infobox's italics code altogether.
If you are still having problems, try putting {{Italic title}} after the infobox. You can suppress the error message by using the code {{Italic title|noerror}}
.
Tracking categories[edit]
If the |string=
parameter is used but that string is not found in the title, the page is added to Category:Pages using italic title with no matching string.
