Inyandikorugero:Lowercase title
 | This template is used on approximately 13.000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template should not be substituted. |
Usage hindura
Simply add the wikitext markup {{Lowercase title}} at the beginning of a page (and optionally, at the beginning of its talk page). There are no parameters. The markup will only decapitalize the first letter of the page's name in the title at the beginning of the page.
Some examples (in different namespaces):
| Page name | Will display |
|---|---|
| EBay | eBay |
| Talk:EBay | Talk:eBay |
| Category:MacOS | Category:macOS |
| Template:IPhone_models | Template:iPhone models |
Issues hindura
The template does not work together with other title modification templates: you need to use DISPLAYTITLE directly and make sure it's the last DISPLAYTITLE on the page. For example, to make "Example" italic and lowercase, use {{DISPLAYTITLE:''example''}}.
When using the template on redirect pages, the template must be moved after the redirect, since otherwise it will break the redirection. This, however, limits the template to have an effect only when viewing the redirect page directly. Nevertheless, it is still useful in this scenario in order to document the proper capitalization of a term.
When using on templates, please make sure to wrap it with a <noinclude> tag, so that transcluded pages don't get affected.
Technical hindura
This template wraps the magic word DISPLAYTITLE so that it works automatically in any namespace (main/article, talk, template, category, etc.) to decapitalise the first letter of the name of a page it is transcluded on.
/* Page using a lowercase title, with or without {{lowercase}} */
SELECT page_title, pp_value AS displaytitle
FROM page
JOIN page_props ON pp_page=page_id AND pp_propname="displaytitle"
WHERE page_namespace=0
AND CONVERT(pp_value USING utf8mb4) COLLATE utf8mb4_bin /* &#greek; */
REGEXP "^([_ :]+|<[^<>]+>)*([[:lower:]]|	[4-6][0-9];)"
