Excellent...! I hadn't considered this possibility! This simple
mechanism for having titles in RecentChanges pages adds a *lot*
of weight to the idea of putting [[Page|+]] markup directly in
the core.

The relevant Fmt variable is $Title. One mechanism for displaying
titles instead of pagenames in (:pagelist:) output is described
at http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PagelistExplained , in the
"Comments/Questions" section. (Yes, I'm planning to move this
