Description Thorsten Staerk 2009-05-11 04:27:50 UTC
When I use subpages, this is mostly because I have a deep structure. For example, I have 
Tutorials > Programming Tutorials > C Programming Tutorial > How to simulate a keypress. 
In my opinion, the page title should not appear "fully qualified". It is too long and confuses the reader. You already get the complete path twice: Once in the URL bar of your browser and once as the subpage-navigation-links.

Please only show the page title without the path-prefix if subpages are activated.

Page titles are supposed to be copy-and-paste-able functional wikilinks. If the page [[Foo/bar/baz]] displayed as "Baz", then copying it would obviously *not* make a functional link to the page; it would of course link to [[Baz]] instead.  Not A Nice Thought.

Comment #1 has it right, marking WONTFIX.

Page titles are supposed to be fully qualified. Displaytitle also works if you want to change them.
