{{template shortcut|sm|aut}}
{{COinS safe|n}}
'''<nowiki>{{Smallcaps}}</nowiki>''' will display the lowercase part of your text as a soft format of typographical {{Smallcaps|[[small caps]]}}.<br>For example: <nowiki>{{smallcaps|Beware of Dog}}</nowiki> &rarr; {{smallcaps|Beware of Dog}}.

This template should be avoided or used sparingly, as the [[MOS:SMALLCAPS|Manual of Style advises]] that small caps should be avoided and reduced to one of the other title cases or normal case and [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Keep markup simple|markup should be kept simple]].

===Usage===
Your source text is not altered in the output, only the way it is displayed on the screen: a copy-paste of the text will give the small caps sections in their original form; similarly, an older or non-CSS browser will only display the original text on screen.

; Code     : <code><nowiki>{{Smallcaps|Your Text in 4004 bc}}</nowiki></code>
; Displayed: {{Smallcaps|Your Text in 4004 BC}}
; Pasted   : Your Text in 4004 BC

This template is therefore intended for the use of caps as a typographic style, such as rendering family names in bibliographies in small caps to distinguish them from given names. It should not be used for acronyms or abbreviations which are supposed to be capitalized regardless of style. For such cases, use {{Tl|Smallcaps all}}.

==Notes==
* [[اعراب‌گذاری]]s (å, ç, é, ğ, ı, ñ, ø, ş, ü, etc.) are handled. However, because the job is performed by each reader's browser, inconsistencies in [[برگه‌های سبک آبشاری]] implementations can lead to some browsers not converting certain rare diacritics.
* Use of this template does not generate any automatic categorization. As with most templates, if the argument contains an <tt>=</tt> sign, the sign should be replaced with {{[[Template:=|=]]}}, or the whole argument be prefixed with <tt>1=</tt>. And for wikilinks, you need to use piping. There is a parsing problem with MediaWiki which causes unexpected behavior when a template with one style is used within a template with another style.
* There is a problem with [[I نقطه‌دار و بی‌نقطه]]. <nowiki>{{Lang|tr|{{</nowiki>Smallcaps|ı i}}}} gives you {{Lang|tr|{{Smallcaps|ı i}}}}, although the language is set to Turkish.
* Do not use this inside citation templates [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation templates]], or this template's markup will be included in the [[COinS]] metadata. This means that [[reference management software]] such as [[زوترو]] will store the markup. For example, if {{Tl|smallcaps}} is used to format the surname of ''Bloggs, Joe'' in {{Tl|cite journal}}, then Zotero will store the name as <code><nowiki><span style="font-variant:small-caps;">Bloggs</span>, Joe</nowiki></code>. This is correct and incorrect COinS metadata.

==Reasons to use small caps==
[[Small caps]] are useful for encyclopedical and typographical uses including:

; To lighten ALL-CAPS surnames mandated by [[citation style]]s such as [[Harvard referencing|Harvard]]
* Piccadilly has been compared to "a Parisian boulevard" ({{smallcaps|Dickens}} 1879).
* [[Charles Dickens, Jr|{{smallcaps|Dickens}}, C., Jr]] (1879). "Piccadilly" in ''Dickens's Dictionary of London''. London: C. Dickens.[http://worldcat.org/oclc/54321168?page=citation]
; To disambiguate Western names and surnames at a glance
* Many [[Hispanic name]]s are tricky to decompose:
** [[خورخه لوئیس بورخس]], but [[آدولفو بیوئی کاسارس]] (both filed under "B")
** [[José Álvarez de Bohórquez|José {{smallcaps|Álvarez| de las A|sturias| de B|ohórquez| y G|oyeneche}}, Marqués de los Trujillos]]
* And many [[Hispanic name]]s are better known by their second surname:
** [[پابلو پیکاسو]], [[فدریکو گارسیا لورکا]], [[Emir Rodríguez Monegal|Emir {{smallcaps|Rodríguez '''Monegal'''}}]], [[خوزه لوئیز رودریگز زاپاترو]]
* Many names (Martín, Miguel, Ramón, Tomás, etc.) can be either forename or surname:
** [[Juan Martín Hernández|Juan Martín {{smallcaps|Hernández}}]] vs. [[Rafael Martín Vázquez|Rafael {{smallcaps|Martín Vázquez}}]] (two ball players)
* [[Hungarian name]]s natively use the surname-first order:
** [[شاندر پتوفی]] is usually westernized [[شاندر پتوفی]]
; To disambiguate Eastern surnames and given names at a glance
* Most [[نام چینی]]s and [[نام کره‌ای]]s retain their surname-first order:
** [[مائو تسه‌تونگ]] fought [[چیانگ کای‌شک]]
** The movie ''Oldboy'' by [[Park Chan-wook|{{smallcaps|Park}} Chan-wook]] starring [[Choi Min-sik|{{smallcaps|Choi}} Min-sik]] was not seen by [[کیم ایل-سونگ]]
:Especially in Hong Kong and Macao, a Western given name may be added as well:
:*[[لسلی چونگ|Leslie {{smallcaps|Cheung}} Kwok-Wing]]
* Most [[نام ژاپنی]]s are reversed in the West, but not all:
** ([[آکیرا کوروساوا]] or [[Motojirō Kajii|Motojirō {{smallcaps|Kajii}}]] are usually westernized)
** But [[ماتسوئو باشو]], [[Ono no Komachi|{{smallcaps|Ono}} no Komachi]], [[Kaga no Chiyo|{{smallcaps|Kaga}} no Chiyo]] (haiku poets known under their given name)
** But [[Edogawa Ranpo|{{smallcaps|Edogawa}} Ranpo]] (kept due to wordplay "EdgarA–llanPoe) vs. [[Ranpo Edogawa|Ranpo {{smallcaps|Edogawa}}]] (some modern uses)
* [[میانمار]] names ignore the concept of forename/surname, but are adapted in the West:
** Daw [[آنگ سان سو چی]], daughter of General [[انگ سن|{{smallcaps|Aung San}}]] ("Daw" is honorific, her name takes part of his name)
* And some [[میانمار]] 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:
** [[U Nu|U {{smallcaps|Nu}}]] ("Mister {{smallcaps|Nu}}"), a.k.a. [[Thakin Nu|Thakin {{smallcaps|Nu}}]] ("Master {{smallcaps|Nu}}")
; To cite [[یونی‌کد]] character names correctly without unwanted emphasizing
* Such names are required to be written in capitals by the Unicode standard. In running text, “U+022A {{smallcaps|latin capital letter o with diaeresis and macron}}” is a less predominant alternative to “U+022A LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS AND MACRON”.

==Technical==
Technically, the template merely wraps the standard:

: <code><nowiki><span style="font-variant:small-caps;"> ... </span></nowiki></code>

(The "font-variant:small-caps;text-transform:lowercase" has not been used because it does not work at least in Internet Explorer 5 and 6, which are still fairly common browsers.)

==Suppressing small caps==
If you wish to suppress the display of small caps in your browser, as a logged in user, you can make an edit to [[Special:MyPage/common.css|your common.css]] reading

 span.smallcaps { font-variant: normal !important; }
