Help:Display title

The display (output) characteristics of a page's title can be altered through various means in MediaWiki including:


 * Add  to page Foo to display   instead of the "real" title
 * Employ a template to alter the output as part of a query request

Using the  magic word on a page shows the intention to alter its display characteristics which by default (as of CiteRef::gh:smw:1410) is transferred and interpreted as preferred caption for those entities that make use of it.

A page that contains a annotation using the  magic word will automatically set  and indicates to all Semantic MediaWiki processes (, query results etc.) to prefer it over the real title (it also includes setting the   magic word, if no other key is defined).
