In LocalSettings.php $wgAllowDisplayTitle = true; $wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false; In page http://www.yiai.org/t/index.php?title=Main_Page I write the code {{DISPLAYTITLE:MediaWiki has been successfully installed.}} but the page title is still "Main Page", not the expected "MediaWiki has been successfully installed." While, in the preview page http://www.yiai.org/t/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=submit everything is right.
Works for me. Clear your cache and try again: [[Wikipedia:Bypass_your_cache#Instructions_for_various_browsers]]
I have clear my cache and try this on firefox3.6/win7, ie8/win7 and firefox3.6/ubuntu10.04. It doesn't work. And I've set up a mediawiki 1.15.4 system with the same database and LocalSetting.php, then it works. http://www.yiai.org/t15/index.php?title=Main_Page
Created attachment 7563 [details] What I see Still works for me. I attached a picture to show what I'm seeing.
Created attachment 7564 [details] 1.16beta3 doesn't work
Created attachment 7565 [details] 1.15.4 works
In fact, you have seen what I mentioned. I've attach 2 pics to illustrate what I mean.

Is displaytitle supposed to do that?
See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words I think so. And please look at the attachments. (In reply to comment #8) > Is displaytitle supposed to do that?

Happens in the latest release (1.16.0) as well.

Isn't this issue limited to the Main page ? The main page probably has some special casing for the <title>. A MediaWiki message taking precedence ?
I can confirm this behaviour in 1.20.6 (ddc3327). The html title doesn't change. The bug only occurs on the site configured in Mediawiki:MainPage. It's definetly not a browser cache issue. Also, purging doesn't help.
Increased version to 1.20.5, Changed importance Low -> Normal since this is very annoying in terms of SEO
Main page title needs to be configured at [[MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage]], or disable this message to use the default title (like what other pages have).
Editing MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage works. To use the actual page name or the title set by {{DISPLAYTITLE:...}} I changed it to a contain a single "-" (without quotes). That worked fine.
