#5115 Allow setting of the page title on the wiki
Closed: Fixed None Opened 8 years ago by tibbs.

Some people have asked if the page titles for packaging guidelines could be a bit more descriptive. We use more utilitarian page names in the guidelines, but when people hit, say, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python, it's not immediately obvious that they've hit some page referring to Fedora-specific policy.

Rather than add a section to the various pages explaining that, yes, they're Fedora packaging guidelines, I'd prefer to use

{{{
{{DISPLAYTITLE:Fedora Packaging Guidelines for Python}}
}}}

Except that this doesn't work. I'm assuming that this is because we don't have $wgAllowDisplayTitle = true in our mediawiki config. If that's the case, we'd also need $wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false.

I know very little about the wiki so I could be absolutely wrong. If I am, could I get a hint as to how I'd accomplish what I need to do? And if I'm right, would someone consider adding those two settings to our wiki config?

Thanks!


This has been enabled for now.
Note that wgAllowDisplayTitle is true by default with >=1.10, but I set wgRestrictDisplayTitle=false now.

Note that if spammers or anyone abuse this, I will immediately disable it again.

Thanks. I understand about the spammers. I guess there's no way to enable this per-hierarchy, so Packaging: could use this even if it were disabled for the rest of the wiki.
