Hey,

Just a quick thought - could we add a DISPLAYTITLE function which allows for non-standard page titles? Would be useful for games such as http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/X3_:_Terran_Conflict .

EDIT: Secondly, what is our current policy on standalone expansions? Do we give them their own page or treat them like normal expansion packs? - Was thinking about Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, as well as the DoW II expansions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X%C2%B3:_Terran_Conflict - this is how Wikipedia handles the game title - how do you propose we can do it using a template? If you can make a mockup we can decide whether it is the right move.

Standalone expansions should only have their own page if their fixes/paths/requirements are significantly different from the base game, otherwise use the base game title.

Hi all. {{DISPLAYTITLE:whatever}} will let you change the title of an article; it's a built in mediawiki function.

However, by default it will only let you change the capitalisation. To change the actual characters of the title, Andy needs to set $wgRestrictDisplayTitle to true in LocalSettings.php.

(I'm assuming $wgAllowDisplayTitle is already set to true)

Yeah Jan told me that superscript characters are currently allowed under the MediaWiki software, however, this would allow us to have underscores and pages with lowercase first letters
