Template:Italic disambiguation
This template uses Lua: |
This template italicizes the disambiguation portion of 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 top (right below the "short description"). It will then have the following effect:
- If the title contains parentheses
()
at the end, the text between the parentheses is italicized:Foo (bar)
→ Foo (bar)Talk:Foo (bar)
→ Talk:Foo (bar)
- Titles with no parentheses
()
are unaltered:Foo
→ FooTalk:Foo
→ Talk:Foo

Usage[edit]
Basic usage
{{Italic disambiguation}}
With error suppression
{{Italic disambiguation|noerror}}
Parameters[edit]
- 1: if this is set to "noerror", error messages are suppressed. See #Errors for more details.
Errors[edit]
Sometimes you may see red error messages like this at the top of the page:
Warning: Display title "<i>Article title</i> (disambiguation)" overrides earlier display title "Article title (<i>disambiguation</i>)".
This usually means that there is another instance of a title-italicizing template (e.g. {{Italic title}}) on the page, usually added by one of the infoboxes. Certain infoboxes, add {{Italic title}} 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 {{Italic title}} 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 {{Italic disambiguation}} after the infobox. You can suppress the error message by using the code {{Italic disambiguation|noerror}}
.
