Should the title of this page include the word(s) lower case or lowercase? Which does everyone prefer? -- Mattworld 03:35, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)
I don't think C++ should be spelt c++. -- Sverdrup (talk) 11:56, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
MediaWiki confused me with a possible bug while I moved this page. What links here seems to have to some caching problems (though it's always hard to tell where those come from) despite my best efforts to reload the page. Please point out if I have missed any double-redirects or other problems in moving this page. -- Ellmist 07:07, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)
What's the Unicode for that? :) - Hephaestos 23:52, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Are there technical reasons why these titles are not allowed? It seems rather bizarre that certain characters can't be in titles -- I'm sure there are plenty of valid reasons to automatically capitalize the first letter, but the rest of them... Would putting the + in article titles really break something, or is it just developmental intertia? Tuf-Kat 08:49, Mar 12, 2004 (UTC)

The Pillows (a Japanese rock band) should actually be "the pillows" -- I've never seen their name capitalized on any official source. It would be easy enough to change this in the text, and I was about to, but first I tried to move the article to "the pillows." However, Wikipedia forced the capitalization of the T: "The pillows." Is there a way to force Wikipedia to keep that T lowercase? Garrett Albright 04:44, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I have created the template {{wrongtitle}}: {wrongtitle} I have put it on C Plus Plus and will let it bake a bit to see if people like it before moving it onto other articles on this page (and mentioning the template on the page itself). Feel free to edit it at Template:wrongtitle. -- TreyHarris 16:52, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I have made this change and filled it in for the articles using the template. You can say {{wrongtitle|title=correctTitle}} to get: {wrongtitle|title=correctTitle} -- TreyHarris 22:49, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The bash home page does not seem to be consistent on whether the correct usage is BASH, Bash, or bash. I think we can remove bash from the list since Bash is an accepted spelling. -- Bill 16:15, 2004 Oct 13 (UTC)
This idea is in my head for some time: the real problem is the title shown in the article, not in the URL. The title is automatically set from the article name in the URL and the first letter is capitalized. While this is normally perfect and should not be changed due to incompatibilities, dangling links a.s.o, it could help if the title can be set or suppressed in the article contents. My proposal would be to be able to set the title in an article, so one could create an article named C plus plus and show a title C++. One could create a tag <tilte>C++</title> which suppresses the normal title generated and replaces this with the contents of the title tag. Or one could create a __NOTITLE__ magic (like __NOTOC__) and use =....= (first entry inside toc) as title. This would lead to
The C++ article would start like this
__NOTITLE__ =C++= ...

The "What links here" appears to have a limit of 500 articles. Any way to modify the function in case thousands of Wikipedia articles have the template?? Georgia guy 14:49, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
