subpage titles : change default display

I'm sorry, you're right about that. Is there any good reason why those pages should be subpages? There are other, more common ways to make clear to you readers that certain pages are arranged hierarchically, e.g. through the use of categories and custom menus.

I don't know of any easy, site-wide solutions I'm afraid. An idea which may or may not work is to ensure that users add a template to subpages which includes the following line:

{{DISPLAYTITLE:{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}

(see further Help:Magic words for the two 'magic words' that are used here. Note that DISPLAYTITLE may not work with some skins.)

You can also have a look, if you haven't done so yet, at Extension:SubpageIndex and Category:Subpage extensions to see if there's anything which suits your needs.
