Forum:Formatted page titles

The possibility of being able to format page titles has been discussed a little (particularly on BitterLime's talk page, but it's something that we should have a more open discussion on before we decide whether or not to do it. For those not aware of the principle, it's pretty simple. By default, displayed page titles are plain text that, unsurprisingly, is the same as the page name as in the URL. There is a functionality to change the casing of letters in the displayed title, which is already in use on UranianUmbra to make the first U lowercase. However, this is (intentionally) the limitation imposed on the possible alteration of the displayed title.

The proposal, then, is to add a piece of .js code to the wiki which will allow more customisation. In particular, the plan is to use it to format the titles of, , and  (and maybe others, but those are the main four) to match the formats seen in these links.

Technically, it's completely useless, but it looks so cool :P

Demonstrations on a capable wiki: Lord English and Doc Scratch.

Obviously, such a functionality is open to misuse, so we'd also need to develop a policy for it
