Forum:CT Archive/Title Template Use

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 


 * I'm a little concerned about the proliferation of the Title template. Originally, it was for titles that could not properly be represented by Wiki software, e.g. proper nouns with a lowercase initial letter.  However, it now seems to be increasingly used for other purposes - first, for italicizing the names of ships and written works, and now in cases like Lwyll (ship) to hide parenthetical disambiguators.  While I'm not too keen on the italicization usage (mostly because it seems like adding a lot of tags for minimal return), I can at least see it as falling under the "technical limitations" umbrella.  I think other uses of the Title template, however, are likely to be confusing for new users.  Article titles should be readily apparent, even if they're a little clumsy, so that navigation of this site is transparent and easy to understand.  Opinions? jSarek 08:53, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
