--- Comment #6 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> --- >The advantage of storing this metadata is that it allows for a large amount of >semantic information about the title which can be used not only for linking but >potentially for customised display options and doubtless more that I haven't >thought of. That's certainly true. ----- My initial reaction is that the user is probably in a better position to decide how to capitalize/italicize the title in a given context than software would be, but if such formatting of titles is consistent, I suppose it could make sense to automatically do it. >I'm told that it needs to be moved out of templates for VE to support. It should not need that to *use* the data. To effectively edit the displaytitle data, it may need that. >I don't >know why. >More philosophical, but I was under the impression that the long term goal was >to separate metadata from content? Some folks have that goal. Personally I think that doing so would reduce the power of mediawiki significantly, although my opinion may be a minority one.
