Add a new User::getDisplayName() to return the name that should be displayed in the interface. Add a UserDisplayName hook to allow extensions to give custom display names for users. Add a $wgRealNameInInterface to use the real name of a user as the display name. To start of the first use of the display name functionality tweak SkinTemplate to declare the userdisplayname and use it inside of personal_urls. Comment: Another thought is that really we should just add the ability to hook the display of a username, and then use an extension to do whatever an administrator wants. For example adding twitter or facebook icon shortcuts after names... whatever. Talk page everywhere... Although I admit a simple username -> realname or username + realname is the most likely scenario. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
