Editing Title (section)

====Controversy around usage of common titles====
Some people object to the usage of titles to denote marital status, age or gender. In 2018, a campaign named GoTitleFree<ref>{{cite web |url=https://gotitlefree.org/ |title=GoTitleFree: Freedom from marital status titles |access-date=29 June 2022 }}</ref> was launched to encourage businesses to stop requesting, storing and using marital status titles in their registration forms, and when speaking with customers, launched on the grounds that titles often lead to assumptions about a woman's age or availability for marriage, and exclude non-binary people (though various titles, such as Mx., are increasingly used in some countries). This is in line with established practice advocated by the World Wide Web Consortium<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names#fielddesign |title=Personal names around the world |access-date=6 August 2022 }}</ref> and the Government Digital Service,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://design-system.service.gov.uk/patterns/names/ |title=Ask users for Names |access-date=6 August 2022 }}</ref> which sets the standard for UK government online services. This in turn means that titles are optional on UK passports and driving licences.
