Yes, sorry, I know, it's just that it took me a little while to realize and that when, then, I tried to go back and correct myself, I missed a few. I'm pretty new at this and so I more or less learned by experience.

No problem. I think most of us have learned that way. I recently learned from Wikisource:Scriptorium#De-linting.. that there is the page linked there which lists such errors. -- Beardo (talk) 18:38, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Titles on subpages[edit]

Making this change in the header of the subpages will turn Poems (Nora May French) by Nora May French into the correct Poems by Nora May French EncycloPetey (talk) 19:59, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok! Sorry, I'll correct it. Alien333 (talk) 19:21, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:asc[edit]

You may find {{{asc}} useful, especially for A.M., B.C., and roman numerals that are printed in capital small caps. Yes, you could use {{sc}} with lower-case letters, but typically books do not use lower-case letters for these things, and putting lower-case into the text with small-caps will not preserve the case when someone grabs the text using copy-paste, such as for a quote in a school paper or for quoting in a Wikipedia article or on Wikiquote. The advantage of {{asc}} is that you can write the text in the correct case and still get it to display in reduced capitals. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:54, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
