{{Nocaps|yOuR tExT}}
will (in most browsers) display upper- or mixed-case text in, and (in many browsers) permanently convert it to, full lowercase.
This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
Your source text will be altered in many browsers (a copy-paste will not give it in its original form):
{{Nocaps|The ''Name'' of the Game}}
You can use this template to control the display of the variable output of magic words and of other templates.[dubious – discuss]

sign, the sign should be replaced with {{=}}, or the whole argument be prefixed with 1=
. And for wikilinks, you need to use piping. There is a parsing problem with MediaWiki which causes unexpected behavior when a template with one style is used within a template with another style.{{Lang|tr|{{Smallcaps|ı i}}}}
gives you ı i, although the language is set to Turkish.<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">Bloggs</span>, Joe
. This is incorrect metadata. If the article that you are editing uses a citation style that includes small caps, either format the citation manually (see examples below) or use a citation template that specifically includes small caps in its formatting.
