Template:Change title
Completely pointless and harmful template. This template recreates functionality built into Mediawiki in a stupid way that fundamentally breaks pages it is used on.

As most of you probably know, if you want to have the title at the top of a page be different from the title the page is actually located at you can use the  magic word, like this   This template does the exact same thing, but does it in the most ridiulous way possible.

The first thing the template does is. What this is doing is using the displaytitle magic word to set the title of the page to its current title, but wrapped in CSS so that the text size is 0%. The second bit of the template then makes a paragraph, sets the font and size to make it look a bit like a title then uses CSS to move it to about where the title should be.

There are numerous issues with doing this, notably:
 * This completely fucks up the underlying HTML structure of the page. The thing that the page considers to be the heading (i.e. the thing wrapped in h1 tags) is still the old page title. The thing that is being shown to the readers as the title is actually a random paragraph with some CSS over the top. This completely breaks anything that relies on the HTML structure of the page, e.g. screen readers, web crawlers, bots.
 * This template only works properly if you are using the old vector skin, as it hardcodes the appearance and location of the "paragraph displayed as a title".
 * The ability to do what this template does is already built into Mediawiki and is completely trivial to use.

There is no good reason for this template to exist. — 192.76.8.85 14:08, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
