I have a couple questions about it: - What happens when an user tries to edit the rendered content? - What happens when the code in the field cannot be rendered and / or throws an error? This solution makes a lot of sense for applications, where the page title of entries might be automatically computed from data entered in an object by the user. However for the wiki home page the real issue is that we should not have translation string in the title field to begin with. Every user I speak to is afraid of changing the title of the wiki home page because of this. The translation key should be replaced with pure text on that page. Same thing for the widgets, their titles should be easy to change by users (as opposed to translation keys). This is a big usability hurdle right now.
