Template:Italic title italicizes page titles. Article titles cannot contain wiki formatting, such as '', so article titles cannot be italicized in the normal way. This template has the following effects:
- Titles with no parentheses
()are fully italicized:Foo→ FooTalk:Foo→ Talk:Foo
- Titles which contain parentheses are italicized before the first opening parenthesis:
Foo (bar)→ Foo (bar)Talk:Foo (bar)→ Talk:Foo (bar)
- Italicization can be forced on parenthesized text with the
|all=yesparameter.
This template should only be used in articles that meet the criteria for italic titles given in the Article titles policy.
Meta templates which use this template should place {{Auto italic title}} in their documentation.
