JA: What I'm actually concerned about here is directory path creep — where a page that I initially titled "Directory:Introduction to Inquiry Driven Systems" becomes "Directory:Jon Awbrey/Papers/Introduction to Inquiry Driven Systems", which is way too distracting at the head of the page to look like a title anymore, forcing me to create an internal title by way of re-orienting the reader. It just seems that there might be a way to handle ownership via semantic tags instead of morphing it onto subdirectory structure? Jon Awbrey 04:14, 21 May 2007 (PDT)

:I enabled the '''<nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:xxx}}</nowiki>''' magic word and slightly hacked the display code to get pages to render a little cleaner along with sub-page breadcrumbs. Take a look [[Directory:Jon_Awbrey/Papers/Inquiry_Driven_Systems|here]] to see an example; I'd like to hear your feedback. Note that you have to use the URL for any wikilinks as the full path is eliminated in the title for display purposes. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 19:39, 3 June 2007 (PDT)

JA: Looks pretty slick so far. Not sure I understood the comment about using URL's for wikilinks, though. [[User:Jon Awbrey|Jon Awbrey]] 10:34, 5 June 2007 (PDT)
