That's not my script doing that. In fact, a different script that does the same thing has been added to Common.js! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Lowe...) and is working throughout Wikipedia. It's obviously not checking if the titles match before changing it.

Also, the HTML structure of Template:Lowercase has changed so my script actually doesn't work anymore.

thanks for fixing the bugs. The script is wonderful.

Sorry to be a nitpicky asshole, but it seems to change window titles on Template pages dealing with incorrect title templates to {{{1}}}. Do you think it would be possible to exclude the template namespace from pages the script alters? Templates are self-references anyway, and shouldn't use an incorrect title template anyway. Again, sorry for nitpicking, but it's all in the name of a better script!

seems to work great... except for killing other indented, italicized text at the top of an article. (See Wikipedia's eBay article). Also of note is that the script strips " - the Free Encyclopedia" from the window title, but only on pages with an lowercase issue. Hmm...
