(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.)

ItSimply isadd usedthe 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 toonly decapitalize the first letter of the page's name in the title at the topbeginning of the page. Examples:
 
{| Classclass="wikitable"▼
▲== Usage ==
Simply add {{tlx|lowercase title}} at the top of a page (and optionally, at the top of its talk page). There are no parameters. Examples:
 
▲{| Class="wikitable"
|-
! Page name !! Will display
Line 18 ⟶ 20:

=== AttentionIssues ===
The template does '''NOTnot''' work together with other title modification templates. In this case: you need to use {{tlx|DISPLAYTITLE}} insteaddirectly and make sure it's the last DISPLAYTITLE on the page. For example, to make "eZoneExample" italic and lowercase, use <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:''eZoneexample''}}</nowiki></code>.▼
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.▼

Nevertheless, it is still useful in this scenario in order to document the proper capitalization of a term.
 
When using on templates, please make sure to wrap it with a &lt;noinclude&gt; tag, so that transcluded pages don't get affected.
 
=== LimitationsTechnical ===
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. ▼
