==Usage==
==Usage==

Simply add the tag <CODE><NOWIKI>{{Lowercase}}</NOWIKI></CODE> at the top of a page (and optionally, at the top of its talk page). There are no parameters. The tag will only decapitalize the first letter of the page's name in the title at the top of the page. Examples:

{| CLASS="wikitable"
|-
! Page name !! Will display
|-
| [[EBay]] || eBay
|-
| [[E (mathematical constant)]] || e (mathematical constant)
|-
| [[Buried treasure]] || buried treasure
|-
| [[Talk:Buried treasure]] || Talk:buried treasure
|-
| [[Template:Lowercase]] || Template:lowercase
|-
|}

* '''Attention: Please do not [[WP:SUBST|Subst:]] this template.'''

==Technical==

This template wraps the [[Help:Magic words|magic word]] DISPLAYTITLE so that it works automatically in any namespace (main, talk, template, etc.) to decapitalise the first letter of the name of a page it's transcluded on. (Previously, this template achieved this using JavaScript, but the DISPLAYTITLE method makes the change for all users, even those with JavaScript disabled).
