@@ -17,6 +17,17 @@ the attached [[!taglink patch]] fixes this; from its commit message:
 
 the output will look much better (at least in my wikis) with the "[[bugs/pagetitle function does not respect meta titles]]" issue fixed.
 
+> I agree that it's (likely to be) a bug to not use `pagetitle()`. I

+> I don't think it's correct for `pagetitle()` to output `\[[!meta title]]`

+> contexts where the full formal title of the page seems inappropriate.
+> If you want linkmap to use `\[[!meta title]]`, I think it would be
