Runner-Up?

@Alucard 16: Hey there, I feel like I've asked this question somewhere before, but I can't find it on your talk page, so if you've answered this before, I'm sorry! That said, why does this template output "Runner-Up"? Shouldn't it be "Runner-up"? It's not a proper noun, is wot I'm getting at.

Additionally, I see this template used often like here where it's being formatted {{runner-up|1st Runner-Up}} which displays as:

1st Runner-Up

When I change the result to the more grammatically correct {{runner-up|1st runner-up}} it displays as:

1st runner-up

So my suggestion is that the default should be "Runner-up", and if anything is piped, the template should return whatever content is piped. Appreciate your feedback, thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:45, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

It should be the more grammatically correct option. The issue was the bit of code {{{style|text-transform: capitalize;}}} which capitalizes every word. I removed it and adjusted the doc so it would return whatever content is piped. Alucard 16_{❯❯❯ chat?} 23:11, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks for doing that. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:11, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
