00749: $Action skin template values have disappeared.
Description: The skin template is not showing values for the $Action skin template variable.
For example, using the default template ?action=edit used to change the title from
"PmWiki | Main / HomePage "
to
"PmWiki | PmWiki / PmWiki | Edit"
but now the title doesn't change.
Ick. Some version of PmWiki introduced an {$Action} page variable, which is the value of the current action (i.e., 'edit', 'browse', 'diff', etc.). When introduced, I forgot that it conflicted with the existing $Action variable that was being used in the title.
It seems that reserving "$Action" to be the exact value of ?action= makes more sense overall, so my preference at this point is to change the $Action skin variable to be $ActionTitle, since it's a modified reader-friendly form of $action. This is what I've done on pmwiki.org for the time being.
Comments?

$ActionTitle works for me.
This might not be worth mentioning, but I think I'd take the trailing space out of the template and replace it with a leading space in the variable.
<title>$WikiTitle | PITS / 00749 $Action</title>
becomes
<title>$WikiTitle | PITS / 00749$Action</title>
and
"| Edit"
becomes
" | Edit"

Changed to $ActionTitle in 2.1.10. I left the leading space in the template -- at the moment it makes more sense to me there (and it doesn't require a further change).
