This template uses Lua: Module:Italic title

Usage

{{Italic title}}

Use this to set an italic title for an article or category.

It has smart handling of namespaces and parentheses, making it unnecessary to write complex forms of {{DISPLAYTITLE:''page''}}.

Summary

On page	Page title displays as
Avatar	Avatar
Avatar (2009 film)	Avatar (2009 film)
Category:Avatar (2009 film)	Category:Avatar (2009 film)

Errors

When called twice, possibly through another template, a red error message may result. This would happen anyway. It can be silenced by calling the template as {{Italic title|noerror}}.

History

Originally a wikicode implementation, this is currently the same Lua code that Wikipedia uses for wikipedia:Module:Italic title.
