CustomTitle

To prettify page titles. Insert at top of editing page

  • To change the page header and title
  {{#customtitle:My header|My Title}}
  • To change header only:
  {{#customtitle:My header}}

Remember that although a different title is being displayed, you still have to link to that page using the real page name.
