   • q to display the title excluding the disambiguator (if any) in quotes
   • t to display the title excluding the disambiguator (if any) in italics
   • ? to display this symbol after the article title: File:Symbol question.svg
   • G to display this symbol after the article title: File:Symbol support vote.svg
   • o to display ‹› after the article title
2. Article title excluding the disamiguator (required)
3. Disambiguator (optional)

{{#invoke:Sandbox/28bytes/acm|gettitle|?q|Cinema|(Yes song)}}
