Atop the article 2^43112609 − 1, I put ((DISPLAYTITLE:2<sup>43112609</sup> − 1)). It doesn't work. It doesn't have any problem with subscripts at E8 (mathematics). What's going on? Michael Hardy (talk) 19:24, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Why does this template change the title on the corresponding page but not the title in the lists within the categories? E.g. at Category:Algebraic_groups you find E8 (mathematics) not E8 (mathematics). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cb22hh (talk • contribs) 19:21, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Has this issue been documented? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.22.12.35 (talk) 21:07, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Would it be possible to include a |language=
parameter, to be rendered as an HTML "lang" attribute? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:46, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
The edit page for this /doc offers to "Preview page with this template". It's undocumented. Tell me how it works, and I'll document it. How would it work? CpiralCpiral 02:03, 22 March 2013 (UTC) — CpiralCpiral 02:53, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
The facts seem to be 1)The page must already use the template 2)The template must have graphics not just text, and 3) It's offered on all template editing, even on /doc where it's useless, and even on template code where it's not graphical. If so, it should be an opt-in widget, being misleading more than half of the time? For example it should not be offered here at DISPLAYTITLE where "Page title" is triply confusing.
Because "with this template" does mean two different things (has this template / using this code), it can be taken wrongly by the uninitiated, curious about a particular template.
"Preview page with this template" could say one of:
More importantly, I'm hoping the line "Page title" might present itself, when filled in, for example:
"Page title that uses ((Writer-stub)):P. D. Ouspensky
".— CpiralCpiral 00:09, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
I added documentation because we shouldn't say everything that needs to be said all at Wikipedia:DISPLAYTITLE#Changing_the_displayed_title where the redirect WP:DISPLAYTITLE goes.
BTW, I'm not sure the redirect will change, but I'm pretty sure Page name will get to change its own content that WP:DISPLAYTITLE points to. See Wikipedia_talk:Page_name/Major_surgery#Changing_the_title. It's different than the doc here. — CpiralCpiral 01:28, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
I tried to change the title of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloudy_olive_oil to "unfiltered olive oil", which is the common name for this kind of oil, using Displaytitle. But it is still displaying as Cloudy olive oil, and going to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfiltered_olive_oil gets you nowhere. How can this be fixed? Mikalra (talk) 15:34, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
@Mikalra, if you wish to change the name of an article, you can move it. Colathewikian (talk) 02:29, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Is it intended for DISPLAYTITLE to be used on article talk pages? (e.g. Talk:The Smurfs 3) While I've seen plenty of articles about albums, books, and films use DISPLAYTITLE, I haven't seen it on their corresponding talk pages. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 20:54, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Can somebody tell me why I am now getting a red warning at the bottom of Bambi Kino? As far as I know, I'm using this template exactly as intended, to suppress italics that were an automatic effect of adding "Infobox album" to an article that is about the band, not about their self-titled album. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 13:21, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
Italic title=no
, which I'll do for the Bambi Kino page. Whether this feature is more helpful than harmful is another question best discussed elsewhere - say, at WP:Village pump (technical). Huon (talk) 17:17, 26 July 2014 (UTC)For some reason, the template is now showing a warning message: "Warning: Display title "<i>obZen</i>" overrides earlier display title "<i>ObZen</i>"." (see an example here). Best guess is that this is a conflict between this template and Template:Infobox album, which forces the title to be italicised. Can someone offer a solution on how I should use Template:DISPLAYTITLE to properly show the title without the warning message? Or, can someone offer a solution to Template:Infobox album to fix this conflict? (This sort of behind-the-scenes stuff is beyond my understanding currently.) MrMoustacheMM (talk) 20:45, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
This infobox should italicize the article title automatically. If this is not required, add |Italic title=no to the list of parameters. If this is required but the title is not being italicized, try |Italic title=force . |
@MrMoustacheMM, Huon, Lwarrenwiki, and Gxe113: Hello, I recently moved The greg gutfeld show to The Greg Gutfeld Show to capitalise each word. But after I did, the same warning came up at the top of the page, Warning: Display title "<i>The Greg Gutfeld Show</i>" overrides earlier display title "The Greg Gutfeld Show"., I tried the fixes stated in this section and the one above, to do with the infobox, but it is still there. Can you help please, I'm not sure what to do. Thanks. Seagull123 Φ 20:16, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
HTML5's q-element, or in Wiki-speak, <q>...</q>
, allows ((DISPLAYTITLE:))
to place quotation signs in article titles. Example: ((DISPLAYTITLE:List of covers of <q>Yesterday</q>))
which will show the title of the (hypothetical) article List of covers of Yesterday as List of covers of Yesterday
. As with any transformation via DISPLAYTITLE, this does not affect the cut/paste behaviour of titles, in other words, the quote signs will not be included when cutting/pasting the article title from a browser. There is no consensus on Wikipedia endorsing this usage. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 01:59, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
I'm getting the warning and the category placement for the article S/V Rembrandt van Rijn. The warning is
Warning: Display title "S/V <i>Rembrandt van Rijn</i>" was ignored since it is not equivalent to the page's actual title.
and it does match, any ideas? Naraht (talk) 14:48, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
That works too. Creating a re-direct would solve future linking problems with the alternate spelling. I think that is something anyone can just go and do without the need for project-specific consultation. In fact, I'll just go do that now. (nevermind, one was already created last year) Problem solved. Cheers - theWOLFchild 17:36, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
Just curious if at some future point DISPLAYTITLE will support a single multicase word? Prime example: Quechers could benefit from ((DISPLAYTITLE:QuEChERS))
. Thanks. Lostraven (talk) 16:17, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
There seems to be a problem rendering titles for television episodes if they include an apostrophe in the disambiguation modifier (for example: Torpedo (Bob's Burgers) or The Sound of Silence (Grey's Anatomy)). I've narrowed it down to a conflict in ((infobox television episode)), but can't determine what parameter needs to change. I notice the title will render correctly if I place ((DISPLAYTITLE)) after the episode infobox - but I still get the DISPLAY TITLE warning. Is there a work around?
