Topic on Project:Support desk

Hi,

when I create for instance the article "for a reason" and open it, it's name will be "For a reason.

What can I do, that the first letter of the article name depends on the link, and not automatically is big?

Thanks

"... a title can be displayed with an initial lower-case letter, using DISPLAYTITLE or the {{lowercase title}} template. This does not fix every occurrence, like the history, edit, or log pages (phab:T55566) - or the browser address bar (phab:T63851), but only affects the page title on the rendered HTML page and tab/window title bars."

Thanks. Sorry but I still can't solve it.

I don't know what exactly to do with DISPLAYTITLE.

And when I try the {{lowercase}}, it doesn't work. Your lowercase link says, I need Extension:ParserFunctions. But when I click on "download extension", I see:

No such extension "ParserFunctions".

Unable to fetch extension list!

I'm newb, could you pls explain it step by step?

For a page named as "Title", adding the following onto the page should make the first letter lowercase:

{{DISPLAYTITLE:title}}

Regarding Extension:ParserFunctions, the normal extension archive download feature of this website is bugged at the moment, it will take some time to fix. Git can be used for extension download though, but I suppose that might get a little too complicated for a beginner.

Use GitHub instead: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-ParserFunctions. Select the branch that corresponds to your wiki version.

Ok thanks @AhmadF.Cheema, the {{DISPLAYTITLE:title}} works for now. I will wait and see this topic again someday, hoping the bug will be fixed.

@Leaderboard thanks I tried to istall it, still the term Topic:uvxu3ow9h59n2uglTopic:uvxu3ow9h59n2ugl{{lowercase}} doesn't change anything, neither when I write it in the article, nor when I write it in MediaWiki:Common.css...

In addition to the extension you also need to import Template:Lowercase to make {{lowercase}} work.

How exaclty do I do import the Template:Lowercase?

You can either copy-paste the code, or alternatively use Special:Import on your wiki.
