The template name can be written in either way, but the best and most accurate way is to start with a capital letter; it's less likely to cause confusion and looks much cleaner.

It's an abbreviation of Combine OverWiki, so why would only the C be capitalized? The only reason it's allowed to is because of MediaWiki limitations.\n
Additionally, until a few years ago, it was the de facto standard on this wiki for most templates to be all lowercase; that's why it's {{t|cow}} and not {{t||COW}}. Template names with multiple words used spaces, not PascalCase.\n

Though I saw your cleanup notice and am wondering what you mean. Use full screen width? Mostly yes, except for blocks next to each other which would be teared far apart, making the side-by-side comparison harder. Add empty space to stretch them to the same width? Ok, but I wouldn't even notice that change as a reader. I feel like you meant something different. Can you explain what you were thinking or what you would like to see improved? --[[User:Popcorn|popcorn]] ([[User talk:Popcorn|talk]]) 11:30, 3 July 2026 (PDT)\n:Wasn't me who added that cleanup. Seems that history of who did that got lost because of stupid multipage template.

Казёнщина — формальное отношение к чему-либо, бездушный формализм.\n
Казёнщина — то, что проникнуто формализмом, рутиной, делается по шаблону, несамостоятельно.\n\nЛитературные и прочие переводы делаются не урывками для пары фраз, а для целого текста документа или ресурса.\n\nВнесение модных удобных словечек в паре строчек текста это перевод \"неформала\" (самостоятельные, не как все), а не якобы \"неказённый\" перевод.\n\nПроблема только, что такой подход к переводу как раз и является \"формальным отношением\" к переводу, а после десятка таких \"неказённых\" переводов содержание всего ресурса превращается в кашу бессвязных фраз из разных слов.\n

Here's why:\nEverybody and their mother was saying all my edits to the wiki were terrible and the only positive reinforcement was when i removed the colors from {{T|sdktools}}. As such, i asked if anyone disagreed with undoing my unification of translate, as that is the standard on every other mediawiki and apparently all my other template edits were disgusting. Nobody disagreed, so I split them to undo the damage I had done. I'm glad that you like the unified version better, i do too, but since all my other contributions appeared to be crimes against God it would only be logical that my edits to translate were obscene and I should have reverted them back to how it was pre-me.\n\nJust explaining myself, thx for reading.\n
