----
This template takes an author name presumed to be problematically in ALL CAPS, and checks it against a list of recognized {{wikt|initialism|initialisms}} and {{wikt|acronym|acronyms}}.  If it is on the list, it is returned as-is, otherwise all but the first letter are converted to lower case.

Note this is '''not''', in the long term, expected to be [[Template:High-risk|high-use]]; it is used far less than its parent template {{tl|Source}}, and unlike its parent template, the number of pages that use it should subside over time.  So adding initialisms/acronyms to the list will not cause nearly as much server load as would edits to the parent.  <!-- Current count: <span class="plainlinks">[http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/embeddedincount.py?title={{urlencode:{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}&db=enwikinews here]</span>. -->

=== Usage ===
The one parameter is <nowiki>{{{author}}}</nowiki>, which is required.

=== Avoiding this template ===
Although newbies needn't be [[wikt:trout#Verb|trouted]] for causing {{tl|source}} to call this template, most or all such calls should eventually be eliminated.
* A personal name in all caps can simply be corrected to mixed case.
* An initialism or acronym can usually appropriately be wikilinked.  Wikilinking with {{tl|w}} will prevent it from being sent here.  Wikilinking with wiki markup using a mixed-case target will also prevent it from being sent here.
