Sorry I can't help you, I don't know much about wiki coding. My edit had to do with the rule here that we don't capitalize "the" in the middle of a sentence, only at the beginning, as described in [[Tardis:Capital letters]]. It doesn't really have anything to do with article titles.

Sorry I can't help you, I don't know much about wiki coding. My edit had to do with the rule here that we don't capitalize "the" in the middle of a sentence, only at the beginning, as described in Tardis:Capital letters. It doesn't really have anything to do with article titles. Shambala108 ☎ 05:16, September 26, 2012 (UTC)
- Article titles are judged to be at the beginning of sentences. Therefore the first word of an article title is always capitalised, unless the "proper" way of rendering the name involves an initial lowercase letter, as with iPod. Articles, like a, an, the are always capitalised in page titles, but within the body of a page, a, an, the follow standard capitalisation rules.
- So, the page is called "The Editor", but we say, "The Ninth Doctor thwarted the Editor's plans."
- The template to change the appearance of a title is called {{title}}, and it works by doing something like this: {{title|iPod}}. There are very few times you want to use this template, however. It's mostly meant to make it easy to italicise page titles. Even so, italicisation of story titles is best done with {{title dab away}}, which works almost by magic. Just put that on any story page and it will work without you having to type anything else.
