Template:Italic title/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Italic title. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
This template italicizes page titles. Article titles cannot contain wiki-formatting, such as '', so article titles cannot be italicized in the normal way. Instead, place this template in the article, normally at the very top. It will then have the following effect:
- 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=yesparameter.
This template should only be used in articles that meet the criteria for italic titles given in the Article titles policy.
