- ↑ As of May 2023, the preferred example fails due to flaws in Mediawiki (phabricator issue T200704) if there are no prior uses of
{{smallcaps}}on the page outside links.
Note that most of these uses are not sanctioned by the WP:Manual of Style and should be avoided in article prose.
Reasons to use small caps
beccè'Small caps are useful for encyclopedic and typographical uses including:
- To lighten ALL-CAPS surnames mandated by citation styles such as Harvard
Note that this template should not be used inside CS1 or CS2 citation templates, such as {{cite book}} or {{citation}}; see #Notes above for details and alternatives.
- Piccadilly has been compared to "a Parisian boulevard" (Dickens 1879).
- Dickens, C. Jr (1879). "Piccadilly" in Dickens's Dictionary of London. London: C. Dickens.[1]
- To disambiguate Western names and surnames at a glance
- Many Hispanic names are tricky to decompose:
- Jorge Luis Borges, but Adolfo Bioy (both filed under "B")
- José Álvarez, Marqués de los Trujillos
- And many Hispanic names are better known by their second surname:
- Many names (Martín, Miguel, Ramón, Tomás, etc.) can be either forename or surname:
- Juan Martín Hernández vs. Rafael Martín Vázquez (two ball players)
- Hungarian names natively use the surname-first order:
- Petőfi Sándor is usually westernized Sándor Petőfi
- To disambiguate Eastern surnames and given names at a glance
- Most Chinese names and Korean names retain their surname-first order:
- Mao Zedong fought Chiang Kai-shek
- The movie Oldboy by Park Chan-wook starring Choi Min-sik was not seen by Kim Il Sung
- Especially in Hong Kong and Macao, a Western given name may be added as well:
- Most Japanese names are reversed in the West, but not all:
- (Akira Kurosawa or Motojirō Kajii are usually westernized)
- But Matsuo Bashō, Ono no Komachi, Kaga no Chiyo (haiku poets known under their given name)
- But Edogawa Ranpo (kept due to wordplay with "Edgar Allan Poe") vs. Ranpo Edogawa (some modern uses)
- Burmese names ignore the concept of forename/surname, but are adapted in the West:
- Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, daughter of General Aung San ("Daw" is honorific, her name takes part of his name)
- And some Burmese names are so short they need to retain an honorific prefix (U for Mister, Daw for Madam, Thakin for Master) which is confusable with a forename or a surname:
- To cite Unicode character names correctly without unwanted emphasizing.
- Such names are required to be written in capitals by the Unicode standard. Use {{Smallcaps2}}, not {{Smallcaps}}, for this: In running text, "U+022A LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS AND MACRON" is a less visually distracting alternative to "U+022A LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS AND MACRON". Unicode names should not be represented in mixed case, e.g. as {{Smallcaps}}.
