mw-collapsibleclass instead) - DISPLAYTITLE — Template that allows users to change the title displayed at the top of any page. The built-in DISPLAYTITLE magic word can now allow any title to be used, so JS is no longer needed.

mw-collapsiblewhich makes this unnecessary unless you already have large numbers of pages that depend on this. - UserBadges — Replaced by UserTags.
