Automatic Train Protection (United Kingdom) → Automatic train protection (UK) – At WP:NCCAPS '[d]o not capitalize the second or subsequent words in an article title, unless the title is a proper name'. (Origin quote is in bold because putting this quote in bold is not a great idea). Plus UK is commonly used as a disambiguator as can be seen at WP:DAB. Also the base name Automatic train protection is titled in thjis way. JuniperChill (talk) 13:24, 25 March 2024 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it.

 * Oppose Automatic train protection is about a general concept. Automatic Train Protection (United Kingdom) is about a specific program in the United Kingdom, which is a proper name. You could rescope this article as Automatic train protection in the United Kingdom instead if you want it to be in lowercase, which would discuss all uses of automatic train protection in the United Kingdom, not just the one system British Rail developed. And there's no reason whatsoever to abbreviate United Kingdom to UK in the disambiguator. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:45, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Probably a proper name and we usually prefer United Kingdom to UK (except, bizarrely, in the names of political parties). -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:43, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Support – the UK version is no more a proper name than the others. Dicklyon (talk) 03:36, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose: I'm usually on the lower case train, but this seems to me to be a specific program of British Rail and as such is a proper noun and should stay capped. Similarly, Automatic Warning System is capped as a specific system, rather than about automatic warning systems in general. SchreiberBike &#124; ⌨ 12:29, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
