User "Dantman" posted a comment on MediaWiki.r102624. Full URL: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/102624#c25848 Commit summary:
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: In what way? This is related to usernames rather than titles, there's nothing really related to titles here. Rather than the displaytitle prop when I tried to fix it so that [[IPod]] would display [[iPod]] throughout the entire user interface it included a schema change. The title was stored inside the database. The displaytitle really wouldn't work as a good idea outside of where it is right now. ;) Actually this change might help with one of the issues I encountered in my title rewrite. getName() was being used for both comparison and display so I had issues with it. Now if we start using getDisplayName() that could be what's changed. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
