+On the edit form when you are creating a new page, you are given an option of
+page types that can be used. The string presented to the user here is not
+particularly friendly: e.g., mdwn, txtl... it would be nice if the drop-down
+contents were "Markdown", "Textile", etc. (the values in the option tags can
+remain the same).
+
+I've written a first-take set of patches for this. They are in
+git://github.com/jmtd/ikiwiki.git in the branch "friendly_markup_names".
