(It's ridiculous that all improvements (e.g. clearer examples, explanation) are reverted simply because you feel there are a few "strange syntax". The syntax works as intended which provides better portability (templates are often used cross-site. That's why we should improve portability). Please don't revert simply because you don't know what they are for.)

Simply add the tag <code><nowiki>{{lowercase title}}</nowiki></code> at the beginning of a page (and optionally, at the beginning 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 beginning of the page. Examples:
It is used to decapitalize the first letter of the page's name in the title at the top of the page.

== Issues ==
=== Attention ===
⚫
When using the template on redirect pages, the template must be moved '''after''' the redirect. Otherwise it will break the redirection. This, however, limits the template to have an effect only when viewing the redirect page directly. Nevertheless, it is still useful in this scenario in order to document the proper capitalization of a term.
⚫
The template does '''not''' work together with other title modification templates: you need to use DISPLAYTITLE directly and make sure it's the last DISPLAYTITLE on the page. For example, to make "Example" italic and lowercase, use <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:''example''}}</nowiki></code>.

When using on templates, please make sure to wrap it with a &lt;noinclude&gt; tag, so that transcluded pages don't get affected.

=== Limitations ===
⚫
The template does '''NOT''' work together with other title modification templates. In this case you need to use {{tlx|DISPLAYTITLE}} instead and make sure it's the last DISPLAYTITLE on the page. For example, to make "eZone" italic and lowercase, use <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:''eZone''}}</nowiki></code>.

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 is transcluded on.

This template wraps the [[w:en: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 is transcluded on.

Here is the actual script:
