Please change Lowercase sigmabot III to lowercase sigmabot III (changing the uppercase L to a lowercase l). As the name suggests, the bot's name is stylized with in all lowercase (see, e.g. User:lowercase sigmabot III which uses the template {{lowercase}}. Thanks!

@HouseBlaster: I'm declining this unless the current name is causing any issues (in which case, please provide an example) or is requested by the bot's (seemingly inactive) operator. Note that "Lowercase sigmabot III" is how the username appears in edit history and in the title of the bot's user page (i.e., there is no WP:DISPLAYTITLE).

@SilverLocust: there is actually a WP:DISPLAYTITLE on the bot's userpage: {{lowercase}} is a wrapper for DISPLAYTITLE (which automatically downcases the first letter; it is used on pages like eBay and iPhone). It was placed there by the bot operator in the first revision of the userpage. House Blaster (talk · he/him) 19:30, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see. The title shown on mobile (which I was using) is "Lowercase sigmabot III"; I didn't check the source. Still, this is not broken as is, and this is the username seen in the edit history when the bot archives a page. SilverLocust 💬 21:56, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
