About

This script is used to italicize titles, as an alternative to the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} magic word. {{Italic title}} has the following effects:

Titles without parentheses are fully italicized:
- Foo → Foo
- Talk:Foo → Talk:Foo
Titles containing parentheses are italicized before the first parenthesis:
- Foo (bar) → Foo (bar)
- Talk:Foo (bar) → Talk:Foo (bar)
Italicization can be forced using the |all=yes parameter.
Italicization can be limited to specific text with the |string= parameter.

{{Italic disambiguation}} has the following effects:

If the title contains parentheses () at the end, the text in parentheses is italicized:
- Foo (bar) → Foo (bar)
- Talk:Foo (bar) → Talk:Foo (bar)
Titles without parentheses are unaltered:
- Foo → Foo
- Talk:Foo → Talk:Foo

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Desired Title}} can be used instead in cases not covered by either template, e.g. two substrings with italics, or italics combined with a lowercase first character.
