[[!meta title="Option disp for pagestats directive"]]
[[!toggle id=old text="Old, outdated, monologue"]]
[[!toggleable id=old text="""
Hello,
here is a proposal to add a new option to [[ikiwiki/directive]]
[[ikiwiki/directive/pagestats]] (from plugin [[plugins/pagestats]]).
This adds global option `pagestats_linktext` (and directive option `linktext`) to specify whether directive `pagestats` should use the page name or the [[title|ikiwiki/directive/meta]] of tags.
Here is a [[patch]], for both code and documentation.

I eventually managed to get something that suits me, for the problem described above (I want [[ikiwiki/directive/pagestats]] directive to display [[title|ikiwiki/directive/meta]] rather than page name).
Here is a [[patch]] that adds an option `disp` for the [[ikiwiki/directive/pagestats]], acting exactly the same as option `show` for the [[ikiwiki/directive/map]] directive (but parameter `show` was already used for something else). That is, if one wants its tags displayed using their [[title|ikiwiki/directive/meta]] rather than their page name, she can use param `disp`, is in:
\[[!pagestats pages="tags/*" disp=title]]
