::::One possible improvement would be introducing an additional user preference where you could specific one or more alternative locations, but then thats collecting additional private data that we would have to worry about protecting, and it is not clear how many things we'll use ___location data for. Notices are an obvious thing, and we could do a "Recently changed subjects near me" feature as well, but beyond that the applications are fairly slim. Nothing that I can come up with absolutely requires accurate ___location data.--[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 21:06, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

:::::Possibly, user categories might be useful. Though, I know there are userboxes that say "User:X lives or hails from Maryland". Then you get people who were born in Maryland, but no longer live there. Nothing private about these, though we would want to distinguish "lives in" from "hails from". --[[User:Aude|Aude]] <small>([[User talk:Aude|talk]])</small> 21:15, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

== "Technical restrictions" title fix ==

The "Technical restrictions" title fix can be removed due to the new magicword <code>{{DISPLAYTITLE:correct page name}}</code>. It functions exactly the same as the "Technical restrictions" title fix does (it only displays as long as the displayed title is a valid link to that page). We need a bot to update all the pages to use this instead of the js class and then we can remove it from here. [[User:81.34.54.162|81.34.54.162]] 18:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

:Since most if not all of the additions of the RealTitle id are done by templates, it should be possible to change this without a bot by just putting <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:{{{1}}}}}</nowiki></code> into the relevant templates. [[User talk:Mike Dillon|Mike Dillon]] 20:21, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

::Looks like this has already been done for {{tl|lowercase}}. [[User talk:Mike Dillon|Mike Dillon]] 20:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

:::It's not as simple for {{tl|wrongtitle}}, for example see [[P*U*L*S*E (film)]]: the javascript code is smart enough not to replace the heading but it does replace the page title, also the template shows "The correct title is …" message. P.S. [http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=23393 This seems to be a revision] which enabled <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:}}</nowiki></code> ∴ [[User:Alex Smotrov|Alex Smotrov]] 16:20, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
