is there someone who has a better grip than i on the correct usage in english grammar, and wp:mos for title case? should the 'is it' be in caps or lowercase? i've seen it rendered both ways ( "...is it..." or "...Is It...") out there on the internets.

• It should be in caps. As per WP:CAPS, the only things we don't capitalize in titles are prepositions, conjunctions, and articles. "Is" and "it" are a verb and noun, respectively. It is common to see both of these words uncapitalized elsewhere on the Internet; it is a very common capitalization error. Xnux the Echidna 03:02, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Need for "Whose Line..." hatnote

Discussion, centralized here from fragmented user talk sections, about including the following hatnote on the article:

Not to be confused with Whose Line Is It Anyway?.

I'm confused...supposing one got to the Whose Life page but actually wanted Whose Line, how exactly would one get to the intended page? DMacks (talk) 07:06, 6 January 2009 (UTC) (originally posted on User talk:Emerson7)

i just cannot imagine a scenario where one might actually confuse a broadway theatre play with a sketch television show. however, in the rare case that might happen, a quick search would no doubt direct the reader to the correct article. --emerson7 18:57, 6 January 2009 (UTC) (originally posted on User talk:DMacks)

That's just it...the names are one letter apart, not the topics, so it interferes with searching. If you get to the wrong one, it's easy to know that you got the wrong one but unless you do know the correct name (or which word you goofed), it's hard to get from "close but clearly wrong" to "right". That hatnote makes it easy to find "what I meant". DMacks (talk) 19:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Given the extreme similarity in the titles, the distinguish template seems validly used here to me, given that both variants relate to the visual arts: a play vs a TV show. I certainly cannot see that the template detracts from the quality of the article in any way, and it is beneficial to make an encyclopaedia as accessible as possible.
