This is not terribly enlightening but I wanted MediaWiki 1.9.2 to show only the lowest level subpage name rather than /the/entire/hierarchy, since my installation makes heavy use of the subpage feature. Thus, I edited Article.php to look like the following:



/* title may have been set from the cache */

$t = $wgOut->getPageTitle();

if( empty( $t ) ) {

    $wgOut->setPageTitle( $this->mTitle->getPrefixedText() );

}



# Replace title for subpage feature

$wgOut->setPageTitleWithSubpages( $wgOut->getPageTitle(), $this->mTitle->getSubpageText() );

# Replace the above line with the following if you want the HTML title and page title to be the same; Editing OutputPage.php is then unnecessary.

# $wgOut->setPageTitle( $this->mTitle->getSubpageText() );

and added the following member to the OutputPage class in OutputPage.php



public function setPageTitleWithSubpages($fullname,$name)

{

    $this->setPageTitle( $name);

    $this->setHTMLTitle( wfMsg( 'pagetitle', $fullname ) );

}

In the mean time I'll try to figure out how to do this as an extension.
