| 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[edit]
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. |
