Capitalization[edit]

I'm not sure where the best place is for this proposal, but hopefully this is as good a place as any (if not, let me know). I understand that there's a convention for template names and invocations to be case-insensitive, but in this case it seems like the logical way to structure this would be to have {{Their}} point to the {{ucfirst:{{Their}}}} invocation and {{their}} point to the lowercase version. It would make the template much more convenient to use and make the corresponding code more readable. Srey Sros^talk 23:00, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SreySros: Page titles, including those in the Template namespace, ignore the capitalization of the first character and default to uppercase. You can see more at m:Help:Page name#Case-sensitivity. An alternative place for technical discussions like this where the talk page may not have many participants (such as this page) is WP:VPT. —Locke Cole • t • c 07:45, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you. Srey Sros^talk 17:02, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request to complete TfD nominations[edit]

Template:Their has been listed at Templates for discussion (nomination), but it was protected, so it could not be tagged. Please add:

{{subst:tfm|help=off|1=His or her}} {{subst:tfm|help=off|1=His/her}}

to the top of the page to complete the nomination. Thank you. TartarTorte 00:48, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done by User:Paine Ellsworth but I have removed one of the boxes which I assume is okay — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:13, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To editor TartarTorte: any reason why 2 notices are needed that point to the same discussion? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^put'r there 11:45, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, was asleep. It seems that I used twinkle the wrong way to do a merge nomination.

I'm sorry, too. We both were asleep. And thanks to Martin for waking us! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^put'r there 12:46, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
