Template:Correct title

Revision as of 08:03, 9 November 2017 by Neumannz (talk | contribs)
The correct title of this page is {{{1}}}. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.


This template is used on articles to help explain to readers that restrictions on titles containing colons, periods, and some other characters (noted at WP:TITLESPECIALCHARACTERS) affect the page name of the page they are reading.

Examples

For issues with the (#) sign, pass the |reason=# parameter:

{{Correct title|C# (programming language)|reason=#}}
The correct title of this page is C# (programming language). The substitution or omission of the # is due to technical restrictions.


For issues with any of (< > [ ] { }), pass the |reason=bracket parameter:

{{Correct title|Benzo[a]pyrene|reason=bracket}}
The correct title of this page is Benzo[a]pyrene. The substitution or omission of any brackets is due to technical restrictions.


For issues with :, pass the |reason=: parameter:

{{Correct title|DK: King of Swing|reason=:}}
The correct title of this page is DK: King of Swing. The substitution or omission of the colon is due to technical restrictions.


The template can also be used without a reason, which produces:

The correct title of this page is Correct title. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.
