Template talk:Smallcaps all

message: It is not an advantage to store (and export via copy and paste) Old McDonald (McDonald) as Old McDONALD, because that’s not the orthographically correct form of the name. Template:Smallcaps does it right.
Besides, I like small caps when done correctly, but with most fonts and most browsers that does not yet happen – they simply automatically scale down uppercase glyphs – and so it looks ugly. Therefore I wouldn’t support their recommendation by WP:MOS (yet). — Christoph Päper (talk) 20:05, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree about the raw-capitalising form (which i actually dislike in all cases). Note, though, that this template can be used either way.—überRegenbogen (talk) 10:51, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two reasons against 

message: The template output does not appear in wikilink popups. I suspect that skipping templates is hardwired into the popup mechanism. I don't know if there's a way to make an exception; but we could use it here—and i'm sure other places. If not, perhaps it could become a wish-list item.—überRegenbogen (talk) 10:37, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Change Template:Smallcaps all to Template:Allcaps to smallcaps
*That is more descriptive of what it does. —Telpardec  TALK  15:42, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Template:Smallcaps should be used to change lowercase to small caps. If there is a legitimate reason for a text to be all uppercase, then the editor should change it to allcaps before or when this template is applied. Right?—Telpardec  TALK  22:59, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposed name change

message: The recent change seems to have introduced unintended formatting changes.  In all articles I looked at which used this template, the first letter was lowercase.  Also, in Beta-Hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid#Biosynthesis, it introduced line breaks before and after where the template was used in 2 places. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 18:27, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Span nesting

message: *BTW, I have added Templatedata. So for the October 1 wikipedia database, a full usage overview' of this template will be available shortly (listing mainspace instances, and their parameter use). See the link "monthly error report". Available ~Oct 5. -DePiep (talk) 11:38, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I viewed the mothly error report, there are only 21 articles uses this templates with all two paremeters, and all of them using one letter at the first paremeters. I also reviewed all these pages with their source codes. So I can conclude it's safe to update the template. --Great Brightstar (talk) 05:18, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

message: Should this template’s deprecation entail delinking references to it from other template pages? It seems like it ought not be promoted under “See Also” sections of other templates like smallcaps. Pedantical (talk) 01:32, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Support such removals. I stil have not found any use or MOS-reference for this forms (mixed case in smallcaps?). Does TfD require prior MOS discussion? DePiep (talk) 05:10, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
