Transliterations and this template

[edit]

How does this template handle transliterations, if at all? I have a lot of articles on my watchlist that have transliterated foreign-language titles that, within the article text, make use of {{transliteration}}. Can I use {{title language}} for romanisations at all? Or does it mess up in the same way that using {{lang}} for romanised text would?--Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 13:43, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Currently it just uses {{lang}}, I didn't really think about transliterations. I guess we could simply create Template:Title transliteration for that purpose? ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 00:18, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You can use it for transliterations by using the language code (for example: ja) followed by the code for the Latin script -Latn: ja-Latn. That’s what {{transl}} does anyway.
For more information, see Template:Lang/doc#Transliteration or this article from the W3C. Thibaut (talk) 07:59, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Titles that contain parentheses

[edit]

This needs the {{Italic title}}'s "Titles which contain parentheses are italicised before the first opening parenthesis: Foo (bar) → Foo (bar)". 2001:14BA:9CE5:8400:48E8:7B12:9A48:F344 (talk) 07:59, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah good point. I tried to implement that using parser functions but it's proving difficult. The other template uses Module:Italic title to achieve this, but I'm not very familiar with Lua. @Mr. Stradivarius: I see you worked on that module before, could you maybe help if you have time? ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 22:12, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
