Set page title and html title both to 'loginreqtitle'. (489 bytes, patch)

Description Tom Kuipers 2008-10-06 09:36:15 UTC 
On the stock "please login to use the wiki" page, the page title and html title are out of sync.
The page title says "Login required" ('loginreqtitle'), but the html title says "Error" ('errorpagetitle'). In my experience users find this confusing. They think something is wrong, but actually there's nothing wrong. They just have to login. So please don't display "Error" in the HTML title and use "Login required" instead.

Set page title and html title both to 'loginreqtitle'.

I created a patch to set page title and html title both to 'loginreqtitle'. Modified one line in /includes/OutputPage.php. 
Changed this: $this->setHtmlTitle( wfMsg( 'errorpagetitle' ) );
To this: $this->setHtmlTitle( wfMsg( 'loginreqtitle' ) );
