           Summary: Request to show {{DISPLAYTITLE}} or sort key as page
                    link on category pages
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.13.3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Categories
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


I'm working on a private MediaWiki installation intended as developer
documentation for a software project.

Part of the documentation includes explanations of various SQL tables, many
with underscores in them (i.e. 'table_name').  Several functions and other
aspects of the program use underscores as well.

I've made a template that automatically corrects the display title of pages to
show the underscores.  However, it would be nice if there was an option that
altered the link displayed in the category pages to reflect this, perhaps with
some combination of options to:

a) Make {{DISPLAYTITLE}} the default sort key
b) Show category pages using the sort key as the link text rather than the
actual page title.  (Or the display title if the possibility of having a page's
link not reflect the page's actual name is deemed a Bad Thing(tm))
c) Some magic word that could exist on the category page that sets the
allowed/default behavior for page displays.

This would allow for cleaner-looking category pages in my case as well.  For
instance, all of my database objects are Database/object_name, so
Category:Database Tables could simply show links 'table_name', etc. instead of
'Database/table_name'
