</div>No. And it wouldn't work with current code for @SIG@ etc. anyway.<br>
<br>
What you can do to keep your wiki namespace clean from user homepages,<br>
is to use user_homewiki = u'InterWikiNameOfOtherWiki', moin will then<br>
link to that wiki and put user homepages there. That at least works for<br>
the automatically generated links as on RecentChanges or info action,<br>
maybe even with SIG (try).<br>
<br>
It won't work if someone just mentions JoeDoe, of course.<br>

</div>Easy, just do a:<br>

<br>
</div>You can also have ChristoperMacMinn as pagename, but then this should be<br>
also your username, otherwise you lose the automatic connection between<br>
them.<br>

<br>
</div>The only additional information I can provide about that topic (you<br>
maybe find it also in the wiki somewhere) is that some older themes<br>
confused navigation / physical pagename of the document and the title of<br>
the document by rendering the physical pagename within the content area<br>
as if it was a H1 heading. That was bad.<br>
<br>
That old way led to all sorts of feature requests to "display something<br>
else there" or "display nothing there" and all those were resolved in<br>
the new (current) themes by a more clean separation of navigation and<br>
content. Maybe not totally obvious (as the pagename in the title area is<br>
rather big), but well, that is just a mather of the theme css (if you<br>
like it smaller, edit the css).<br>
<br>
Not all theme authors updated their themes, though, so if you use a 3rd party<br>
theme and it still renders the pagename as h1 in the content area, maybe try<br>
it with modern or modernized theme as it is part of moin 1.6 .. 1.8.</blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I would argue, as I mentioned, that it would be nice to have a variable that is the "physical page name", as I called the "short name", that is used for navigation, and a second variable that is the "page title", as I called the "long name", that is used for display in the page content and in the browser title bar. Does that make sense?<br>
