The display (output) characteristics of a page's title can be altered through various means in MediaWiki including:
- Add
{{DISPLAYTITLE:Bar}}
to page Foo to displayBar
instead of the "real" titleFoo
- Employ a template to alter the output as part of a query request
Using the {{DISPLAYTITLE}}
magic word on a page shows the intention to alter its display characteristics which by default (as of Semantic MediaWiki 2.4.0Released on 9 July 2016 and compatible with MW 1.19.0 - 1.27.x.1) is transferred and interpreted as preferred caption for those entities that make use of it.
A page that contains a annotation using the {{DISPLAYTITLE}}
magic word will automatically set special property "Display title of"Holds a specific denote title for an entity and indicates to all Semantic MediaWiki processes (special page "Browse"Shows all properties and their values annotated to a page, query results etc.) to prefer it over the real title (it also includes setting the {{DEFAULTSORTKEY}}
magic word, if no other key is defined).
