How do I define the article title in MediaWiki?

I'm talking about using the wiki syntax. Normally, I create an article by making a link and then editing it, such as 

[[secure-auth|Secure 2-Factor Authentication]]

But this results in the article being titled "secure-auth" on that page. I want the URL to be foo.com/mywiki/secure-auth , but the article title to be "Secure 2-Factor Authentication".

You can't have an article with URL different from the article title. But there are some ways to work around that:

  1. Create a redirect from “secure-auth” to “Secure 2-Factor Authentication”.
  2. Use {{DISPLAYTITLE}} to modify how the page title looks like.
  3. Configure your web server (most likely Apache or IIS) to rewrite the URL the way you want.
