Forum:CT Archive/Eras and Displaytitle

So, per the recent Mofference, I've integrated the DISPLAYTITLE magic word into the Eras template, which will also automatically shrink parenthetical descriptors in article titles. Now, for the article Valiant (Valor-class), you would use to produce the italicized title with the small parenthetical. This will require replacing existing usages of DISPLAYTITLE with the appropriate usages of the title parameters, but those can be found via bot. I'm breaking this vote up into two: first, whether we want to use the new title function in the Eras template (which is currently disabled by default), and second, the LG modification necessary for this.

The DISPLAYTITLE section will be removed, and the example in the LG's Eras section would be changed to this:
 * The above would add the following tags: Rise of the Empire era, Rebellion era, New Republic era, New Jedi Order era, Legacy era, and former Featured Article. The tab setup would link to Ackbar as the canon page, and the title would be formatted to Gial Ackbar.

And the current point about the title parameter would become this:
 * The "title" and "title2" parameters can be used to format the article title and should be used in place of the magic word . The "title" field should be used to alter the appearance of the title text, and if the title includes a parenthetical, "title2" should be used to modify the text within in the parentheses. However, neither should be used to alter the actual title, only to format it. Eras will automatically shrink the size of parenthetical descriptors in article titles.
