{{StoryTitle}} is a shorthand that you can use on story pages to refer to the title of that story. It can save a lot of key strokes. For instance, imagine you're on the page, An Incident Concerning the Continual Bombardment of the Phobos Colony (short story). Without this template, you'd be obliged to type out the entire title, because using {{PAGENAME}} would also include the pesky (short story) disambiguator.
Howver, if you type {{StoryTitle}} on the page An Incident Concerning the Continual Bombardment of the Phobos Colony (short story), it will return An Incident Concerning the Continual Bombardment of the Phobos Colony
This template works on any page that has one of the following disambiguators:
- (comic story)
- (novel)
- (TV story)
- (short story)
- (audio story)
- (graphic novel)
It is "harmless" on any other type of page, in that it will simply return the PAGENAME.
Future
This template is easily adaptable to other disambiguators. If you'd like to see it expanded to other uses, please leave a message at template talk:StoryTitle, detailing your request, and then leave a message on either user talk:Tangerineduel or user talk:CzechOut, reminding us to take a look at your note on template talk:StoryTitle. (It's useful to keep the actual, substantive requests in one place, as with template talk:Wales crew, so that we can refer back to it the future.)
