Template:Correct title

The correct title of this page is not specified. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.

This template uses Lua: Module:Correct title categories

This is a Wikipedia maintenance template that produces an article hatnote to help explain to readers that restrictions on titles containing colons, periods, and some other characters (noted at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)) affect the page name of the page they are reading.

The first unnamed parameter takes the correct name of the page. Do not include any disambiguation-resolving terms within brackets.

For issues with the (#) sign, pass the |reason=# parameter. If the stored page title length is 1 less than the correct title provided to the template, the wording "omission" is produced. Otherwise, the wording "substitution" is produced by default. If this is not correct for a particular page, add a |edit= parameter providing the correct wording.

AtCoffee 1:

{{Correct title|Coffee #1|reason=#}}

AtThe No. 1s:

{{Correct title|The #1s|reason=#}}

For issues with any of (< > [ ] { }), pass the |reason=bracket parameter. If the stored page title length is 2 less than the correct title provided to the template, the wording "omission" is produced. If both titles are of same length, the wording "substitution" is produced by default. If this is not correct for a particular page, add a |edit= parameter providing the correct wording.

AtBenzo(a)pyrene:

{{Correct title|Benzo[''a'']pyrene|reason=bracket}}

At(an imitation) blood orange:

{{Correct title|''[(an imitation) blood orange]''|reason=bracket}}

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

AtDK King of Swing:

{{Correct title|DK: King of Swing|reason=:}}

For issues with |, pass the |reason=vbar parameter. Use {{!}} instead of | while providing the correct title in the template (since | characters are not allowed in template parameters). If the stored page title length is 1 less than the correct title provided to the template, the wording "omission" is produced. Otherwise, the wording "substitution" is produced by default. If this is not correct for a particular page, add a |edit= parameter providing the correct wording.

AtEuropa – Fira station:

{{Correct title|Europa {{!}} Fira station|reason=vbar}}

AtDE9 Transitions:

{{Correct title|DE9 {{!}} Transitions|reason=vbar}}

For titles exceeding the 256 character length limit, pass the |reason=length parameter.

AtThe Boy Bands Have Won:

{{correct title|The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or from Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.|reason=length}}

The template can also be used without a reason. For example, at Robot Face:

{{Correct title|<{{!}}°_°{{!}}>}}
