Title: I agree. The problem is the current version is too old. Later versions
support {{DISPLAYTITLE: Name of Group}}, which will do what you want.

Parent Link: This is the same problem as title. When you use the
 DISPLAYTITLE, it automatically generates a series of parent links. This
 means
first/second/third/forth page will create links to first, second, and third
pages.

I don't know what validation you're referring to,  is it on the wiki or FSF
site?

With the DISPLAYTITLE working, we can scrap the current title, show the name
we want, save page space, and get parent links.

I have asked for an upgrade as I realized these problems existed, but so far
 I have been ignored. I think its bad for the FSF's reputation to run broken
 software in public view.

John, how about it, upgrade and we can solve the meetup, registration, page
title, registration, and possibly email issues simultaneously? Has anyone
been tasked with managing the wiki and friends? The sooner this gets done,
the better we, and the wiki, will look.
