==Abbreviations and acronyms==
Example: You create an article about [[et Café]]. By default, the MediaWiki software will display the initial letter "e" as a capital "E". However, if you include <nowiki>{{lowercase}}</nowiki> at the top of the article, the initial letter will be correctly displayed as lowercase.
 
==Abbreviations and acronyms==
Abbreviations and acronyms are generally discouraged in article titles. For instance, one would title an article [[Fort Pickens]] rather than [[Ft. Pickens]]. However, it is appropriate to create redirects at abbreviated forms to redirect to the proper title.
 
Sometimes, exceptions are made to this guideline in the interest of avoiding long article titles. For instance, the article [[L&N Passenger Depot and Express Office]] contains an acronym, L&N, in its title. The acronym stands for "Louisville & Nashville" but is shortened in that example to avoid a very long title.
