Forum:Tech note: Italics in page titles

Index → Panopticon → Tech note: Italics in page titles

Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

The following is a technical advisory:

Pursuant to Tardis:Manual of Style#Story names, javascript has now been added to the site to allow for the italicisation of page titles. I've also added language at the above link to explain how to do it, though {{title}} also has the basic syntax for you to look at.

Please note that this template should also be used on articles about anything that wold normally get italics, like book names (Great Expectations), ship names (HMS Teaser), albums (Doctor Who - Original Soundtrack: Series 3), works of art (The Church at Auvers) and the like.

The initial changeover will be handled by the bot, so please don't trouble yourself with putting the template on pages by hand, at least not yet. However, as you create new articles about things that should be italicised, please remember to make sure that {{title}} is there. I'll come back here and post a note when the bot changeover has been completed. After that point, you may of course feel free to add {{title}} to any pages that the bot has missed. Thanks :)
