Like Brion, I'd rather maintain the ability to create
links by copying and pasting from the H1 element. The only alternative appears to be to
copy the URL
and fix the underscores, which is tedious. Even more tedious when the title contains
non-ASCII
characters and you haven't got a browser which decodes URL escaping for you.
We could conceivably allow freeform titles, but offer the canonical title as a subtitle
or footer
element. Would that be an acceptable balance between usability for editors and
presentation quality?
My hack does that (header). The JavaScript from User:Datrio doesn't, but
probably could be expanded.
If I understand correctly, that's simple - just copy the content of
h1.firstHeading to div#contentSub, before substituting it for the
correct title.
There probably are a few flaws in my idea, as I wrote it in the
simpliest way possible, but they shouldn't be too hard to fix. The
only one I found so far, is that during editing you'll get the normal
title, not the correct one. That'll be harder ro change, but - still
possible.
My JavaScript is good in the way of accessibility - it just
substitutes the h1 element, without changing the URL, or anything
else. It's good for browsing Wikipedia - if someone would want to
enter the URL of it into the browser, his browser would (probably) not
support it.
Still, it's not that much our problem. I think the most we can do is
substitute h1 with the correct title from the {{Title Restrictions}}
template, or similiar.
