I tried to use {{DISPLAYTITLE: ... }} for a test of its behaviour, i.e. without wanting to safe a page, in the English Wikipedia. Inserting {{DISPLAYTITLE: ... }} in an arbitrary page and inspecting it's preview did not achieve anything. Assuming that, DISPLAYTITLE might only be working when an existig page is rendered, I inserted it in the page Wikipedia:Sandbox but found, it influences neither the preview not the saved version of the page. I suggest that, also page preview should honor {{DISPLAYTITLE: ... }}
WFM on my dev wiki
Which display title did you try on which page? enwiki has $wgRestrictDisplayTitle = true; set, which means you can only use display titles that normalize to the actual title. So {{DISPLAYTITLE:iPod}} works on [[IPod]] because [[iPod]] also links to [[IPod]] after normalization, and {{DISPLAYTITLE:WiKiPeDiA:sandbox}} should work on [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]] because [[WiKiPeDiA:sandbox]] links to [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]] after normalization, but {{DISPLAYTITLE:Foobar}} or even {{DISPLAYTITLE:Wikipedia:SAndbox}} will not work on [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]] unless unrestricted display titles are enabled.
Have you turned on displaytitle so that it an work?
(In reply to comment #3) > Have you turned on displaytitle so that it an work? The bug is being reported against enwiki, not his own wiki, so yes, displaytitle is enabled.

Bug 24342 says, previews were honoring DISPLAYTITLE, while this bug says, they weren't.
Purodha Blissenbach: I tested this on en wikipedia, and it seems to work for me. I'm not exactly sure what you did, here's what I did: *went to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fooe&action=edit (random non-existant page) *wrote: {{DISPLAYTITLE:f<span style="color:aqua">o</span>''o''e}} on the page *Hit preview. Observed behaviour was that the displayed title was as i specified (as expected). Is there anything different you did in your test?
I can reproduce this bug: 1. Start editing a new page "Test" 2. Insert {{DISPLAYTITLE:this will not be displayed}} 3. Click on "Show preview" --> Title is "Test" instead of "this will not be displayed" Tested with my own wiki: - MediaWiki 1.16.2 - $wgAllowDisplayTitle = true; - $wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false; After saving, the correct title is displayed. @Purodha: What exactly did you try? Which title did you use?
Larsen: you are running 1.16.2 compared to 1.17 which is what en.wikip is running.... This might of been fixed by the recent updates to 1.17
You´re right: Just installed 1.18 (phase3-nightly-r85104.tar.gz) in a VM and the bug I noticed is fixed in that version.
well then, FIXED it is
