Template:Italic title/doc

This template italicizes page titles. Article titles cannot contain wiki-formatting, such as, so 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:
 * &rarr; Foo
 * &rarr; Talk:Foo
 * Titles which contain parentheses are italicised before the first opening parenthesis:
 * &rarr; Foo (bar)
 * &rarr; Talk:Foo (bar)
 * Italicization can be forced on parenthesized text with the yes parameter.

This template should only be used in articles that meet the criteria for italic titles given in the Article titles policy.

Errors
Sometimes you may see red error messages like this at the top of the page:

Warning: Display title "Article title (disambiguation)" overrides earlier display title "Article title (disambiguation)".

This usually means that there is another instance of  on the page, usually added by one of the infoboxes. Certain infoboxes, for example infobox album, add  by default. Check the template documentation for any infobox used on the page; it may have instructions about how to deal with italic titles. You may be able to adjust the italics from the infobox instead of using  at the top of the article. Or if that doesn't work, you may be able to disable the infobox's italics code altogether.

If you are still having problems, try putting  after the infobox. You can suppress the error message by using the code.

Technical details: this template uses the DISPLAYTITLE magic word to italicize the title. Error messages can be produced by any two templates which use this magic word, and are not limited to this template. If you are unsure why you are getting a particular error message, you can ask about it at Village pump (technical).
