Description Eduard Braun 2012-11-03 01:59:05 UTC
Categories do not use the specified {{DISPLAYTITLE:}} everywhere where appropriate, e.g.

- Pages in category "categoryname"
  (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:IPad)

- Media in category "categoryname"
  (e.g. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ffdshow)

- Edit and history pages of categories (applies to normal articles, too)

- Links to categories in articles/media categorized in a category using DISPLAYTITLE

Note: this is more an enhancement request so to speak. The current behaviour is more or less the intended behaviour.

On second thought, the current behaviour seems rather odd.

However, problem with doing this: The headers on the category don't use the "Category:" prefix, while the display title requires the category prefix.

Just discovered this too. If I look at a category of chemical formulae, none of the numbers are subscripted, see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Molecular_formula_set_index_pages

It also makes it difficult to see which pages still need to have pagetitle applied.

That's actually a separate bug (bug 17212 I guess). This bug is just for the headings on the category page.

Bug 44197 is clearer.

Sorry, but it's not a duplicate (and it's definetly not clearer)...

Bug 44197 talks a lot about webfonts (which has nothing to do with the issue itself) and only covers one of the four aspects of this bug.

Please reopen!

That's why it's clearer. :)

This is the same thing.

If it applies to normal pages you need another bug.

> DISPLAYTITLE

As bawolff said that's bug 17212.
Comment 9 Eduard Braun 2014-05-04 17:50:42 UTC
Yeah... go on confounding Bugzilla...

Although some of your points are valid I noticed you multiple times now closing and merging bugs in a more than questionable manner.

Fact is:
- most people will be confused by the description of bug 44197
  (the only thing that is a little clearer is the title and that's it)
- Bug 17212 is a *totally different* bug as Bawolff said.
  Please *read* and *understand* bugs before closing them.
- As long as this is resolved "duplicate" you reduced the chance of three linked
  issues ever being fixed for the sake of the fourth being merged with a bug with
  unclear description and therefore also reduced chance of getting fixed
Comment 10 Nemo 2014-05-04 17:56:20 UTC
I've understood perfectly, thanks. Bugs need to be clear for devs, that description is clearer. Anyway, if you want this to be a catch-all bug that's fine, then it's a dupe of bug 24139. Don't take it personally, I just did some dependency cleanup.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 24139 ***
Comment 11 Eduard Braun 2014-05-04 18:06:30 UTC
From what you write it gets clear that you do not understand (or are not willing to admit an error).

Anyway this bug is done now (with the unnecessary discussion going on here) and I assume there will not come any more good out of it.

Therefore I'll report three new bugs as soon as I get to it, wasting time uselessly, for the sake of "dependency cleanup" how you call it. In the end you wasted my time which is something I *take* personally!

Note You need to log in before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
