Why displaytitle instead of built-in ability to translate page name? Wargo (talk) 13:09, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

For various reasons - sometimes the wiki page name is not as descriptive as we would like - or with the namespace can come off a little confusing to people less familiar with wikis. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 02:15, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Note this practice has changed such that pages using {{DISPLAYTITLE}} tag no longer have their page titles setup for translation as well. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 05:06, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
