When I edit a page titled "a_b_c",the title always displayed as "a b c". I have tried to add {{DISPLAYTITLE:"a_b_c"}} in the page but it doesn't work. Do I have made some mistake? Thank all. Wang

Drop the quotes. Use just {{DISPLAYTITLE:a_b_c}} --[[cs:User:Mormegil | Petr Kadlec]]

Well, this should work. See https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_B_C

Any other possible mistakes?

Well, does DISPLAYTITLE work at all – do you have $wgAllowDisplayTitle enabled? (Is this at a Wikimedia wiki, or somewhere else?) -- [[cs:User:Mormegil | Petr Kadlec]]

Yes, I have set "$wgAllowDisplayTitle = true; " in LocalSettings.php. 2012/7/16 Petr Kadlec <petr.kadlec(a)gmail.com>

If you want [[A B C]] to show as a_b_c, you will need $wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false; since [[a b c]] is a different article. However, you can show [[A b c]] as a_b_c with the given displaytitle.

Hi, I have resolve the problem that I can display "a_b_c". What I did is modify the code in mediawiki/includes/Title.php ,in which I found something like "str_replace( '_',' ',... )". But it's not complete. I cannot display "_a_b_c_" .The display is also "a_b_c". So I guess there are some mechanisms that convert the string from "_a_b_c_" to "a_b_c". Can anyone tell me where is the code for the convert mechanisms? Thans very much. 2012/7/17 Platonides <Platonides(a)gmail.com>

You should place two lines into LocalSettings.php, as Platonides suggested: $wgAllowDisplayTitle = true; $wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false; Also make sure you don't overwrite the values of the mentioned variables later in "code flow". It is not necessary to patch the core, the required functionality is there already. Dmitriy
