:::<code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE}}</nowiki></code> is not a template, it is a [[H:MW#Behavior switches|behaviour switch]]. As such, it shouldn't be documented as if it were a template, that is misleading and leads to confusion. Its entry [[H:MW#Behavior switches|here]] already has a link to [[WP:DISPLAYTITLE]]. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 15:52, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
::::Maybe, but it is a template at the moment, and it is documented in the template way, so I have edited it. It's just a copyedit basically. The coloured parts are now more obvious, the nutshell is a nutshell, and I believe the lead sentence is conveying what it was intended to, o7 <span style="font-size: small; text-shadow: #d9be47 2em 0.1em 0.3em,#141d97 0.2em 0.1em 0.3em,#2c747b 0.1em -0.1em 0.2em;color:#2b70b7"><small><sup>~^\</sup>\<sub>\.</sub>[[User:RTG|r]][[User_Talk:RTG|T]]</small>[[Special:Contributions/RTG|G]]</span>'{~ 19:38, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
:::::It is ''not'' a template. With templates, the first parameter is separated from the template name using a pipe; with behaviour switches, it's a colon. This uses a colon: <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:<span style="color:red;">Wikipedia</span> talk:''Help'' Project}}</nowiki></code>
::::::For me C++ is a foreign language, though I used to speak some Basic and HTML. In English, a template is a temporary overlay, or a preformed base. I consider this an overlay of sorts in the ''output'', but really I just mean that it says, "Template:" at the top of the page.
::::::However yes, you have stirred some understanding. My interest is piqued. In the template function there are often colon or pipe char after the function name, and thus determines the route of the code thereafter. It sinks. I joyfully bleed understanding. I look up expectantly, but C++ remains a mystery, tugging on my vision, a point somewhere near the top of the mountain. I wrench myself away and continue my journey marching toward Avalon, my eyes on the ground and the horizon, but my head in the sky, filled with anime visions. <span style="font-size: small; text-shadow: #d9be47 2em 0.1em 0.3em,#141d97 0.2em 0.1em 0.3em,#2c747b 0.1em -0.1em 0.2em;color:#2b70b7"><small><sup>~^\</sup>\<sub>\.</sub>[[User:RTG|r]][[User_Talk:RTG|T]]</small>[[Special:Contributions/RTG|G]]</span>'{~ 13:54, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
