By default, MediaWiki capitalizes the first letter in an article title, and treats underscores as spaces. This means articles on console variables will have really ugly titles, such as "[[Cl name]]" for "cl_name". For these articles, include the text <tt><nowiki>{{lowercase-underscores}}</nowiki></tt> at the beginning of the article (see [[sv_gravity]] for an example). The URL will still have a initial capital letter, but that's not too bad. | By default, MediaWiki capitalizes the first letter in an article title, and treats underscores as spaces.

: I tried copying the template:lowercase from Wikipedia to see if it would function here but while it doesn't break anything it doesn't change the capital letters to lowercase (for the first letter only, see [[id Software]] for example) like it does for Wikipedia. Not sure why... --[[User:Hectate|Hectate]] ([[User talk:Hectate|talk]]) 01:18, 25 March 2013 (UTC) | : I tried copying the template:lowercase from Wikipedia to see if it would function here but while it doesn't break anything it doesn't change the capital letters to lowercase (for the first letter only, see [[id Software]] for example) like it does for Wikipedia.

:: It's possible to use <tt><nowiki>{{DISPLAYNAME:func_door}}</nowiki></tt>to fix titles quite nicely. I've tried it on a couple of articles in the Entity Guide. See [[func_button]]. However, a proper working template would be better I guess. ([[User:Than|Than]]... sorry for not adding this note properly. wiki editing is confusing.) | :: It's possible to use <tt><nowiki>{{DISPLAYNAME:func_door}}</nowiki></tt>to fix titles quite nicely.

::: Yeah I saw your message - it's looking good. Also, after I replied I saw the table you had implemented in the [[func_button]] and it looks great. That's a much better implementation than just a standard * list. --[[User:Hectate|Hectate]] ([[User talk:Hectate|talk]]) 14:51, 25 March 2013 (UTC) | ::: Yeah I saw your message - it's looking good.

I've been adding categories hither and yon and seem to have discovered an issue with MediaWiki. Looking at [[Special:Categories]] shows there's some kind of issue with the categories being repeatedly listed as it finds items for it or something. I found [http://www.mwusers.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-8671.html this help request] online that seems to be related, but the version reported here appears to be higher than that. I'm not sure what he issue is though. Also, it appears we no longer have a direct place for reporting wiki bugs? --[[User:Hectate|Hectate]] ([[User talk:Hectate|talk]]) 02:47, 25 March 2013 (UTC) | I've been adding categories hither and yon and seem to have discovered an issue with MediaWiki.
