We should probably adopt a single style for this series throughout the article titles and text: XXX or xXx. Although a web search for "XXX" can be quite distracting, the relevant results seem to be equally split between the two styles. Does anyone have definitive information as to which is correct?

I want to change the article back to XXX (film series) as I was the one who changed it in the first place as I thought short films guaranteed a franchise title. The series technically only consists of films and nothing more. I'd do this myself but I can't do it with my current Wikpedia status. If anybody can help me with this, I would appreciate it.

@ NinjaRobotPirate: Oh, sorry about that, I did have a small say in it with the user who did so though. But can the article still be changed though? The series only consists of films and a short one and it's completely redundant to label it as a franchise. Zucat ( talk) 04:19, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Since the first letter of article titles is not case-sensitive in mediawiki, this would effectively result in a title of XXx, with DISPLAYTITLE used to show the stylized title. We rely on the WP:COMMONNAME rather than the stylized version, and there is some consensus that the current XXX style is preferable. Most of the contributors to this discussion were more concerned with consistency than style, so the article XXx: Return of Xander Cage should probably be moved to the uppercase version as well. I have not done this myself, as that article wasn't part of this nomination and there was no message posted there regarding this discussion.

– This film series is stylized as xXx. The articles connected with the film series are inconsistent in whether or not they use xXx or XXX. While the above article titles use XXX, they use xXx within the article body. Furthermore, xXx: Return of Xander Cage uses this style. There is a sequel in the works, and while this does not warrant an article yet, the trade papers Variety and The Hollywood Reporter have used xXx when discussing the franchise. Furthermore, "XXX" is commonly associated with pornography, so having xXx for these non-pornographic films would be a clearer distinction. (As an example of the confusion, XXX (film series) is unusually high on article traffic statistics for this reason.) And lastly, having all these articles use xXx would be WP:CONSISTENT.

UPDATE: Not sure why the above shows
XXx (2002 film). I have put in
xXx (2002 film). Upon research, I've found that the use of DISPLAYTITLE would ensure a small "x" at the beginning. Also, pinging
NinjaRobotPirate and
Certes since they discussed the styling above.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Talk:''<span style="font-size:75%;">X</span>X<span style="font-size:75%;">X</span>'' (film series)}}
I suggest we use
WP:DISPLAYTITLE to show XXX as XXX at the top of the articles. DISPLAYTITLE can only change capitalization of the first character so I "cheated" by displaying two of the upper case X in a smaller font to imitate lower case x. It's demonstrated here on the talk page with the code: {{DISPLAYTITLE:Talk:''<span style="font-size:75%;">X</span>X<span style="font-size:75%;">X</span>'' (film series)}}
. The real page names displayed in categories, searches and many other places would still show XXX. The suggestion avoids the unfortunate "XXx" in such places if the pages had been moved in the above requested move. Some users making links to the articles may be confused but there are redirects to ensure that [[xXx ...]]
works.

This article looks to me as presenting "many films" rather than "a group of films". If someone were to change it, a lot of work needs to be done. MushroomDiamond ( talk) 06:44, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
