Beside the raw wiki content, DokuWiki stores useful information, like title, backlinks, date of last edit etc. as metadata for each page. This data follows the Dublin Core Standard for metadata.

• The title of your page is stored within metadata files, if you see the ID of your page instead of the full title, see the useheading option.

• Metadata can be used to customize your templates via tpl_pageinfo() or tpl_pagetitle() for example.
• For deeper use of metadatas, you can also look at p_get_metadata() and p_set_metadata().
• For resources on how this metadata can be used/accessed for plugin or template development please refer to the development page.
