Wrong title displayed in "correct title" template.

I think it's related, so I'm sticking this here.

After http://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Utente:Dry_Martini/Cricca&diff=prev&oldid=59761793, the page, containing a "Correct title" template, would display, after being saved, the message usually generated by that template, although it disappears if you refresh.

I tried it myself and this time I actually changed the title in the template.
The screenshot shows what happened after http://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Utente%3ADry_Martini%2FCricca&diff=59761896&oldid=59761793 my edit.
Basically, the page retains its formerly given title, while displaying in the message the one I chose. Again, everything is ok if you refresh.
(For the record, the usual title is "There is no Cabal", while mine reads "There's a Cabal, and it's using VisualEditor".)

I think this includes my problem with {{tl|italic title}}, which is at two levels:

1. When I add it, I expect to see it take effect immediately - it doesn't (so I wonder whether I remembered to add it, whether I formatted it correctly, ... etc)
2. Even when I save the page, it doesn't take effect until I refresh the page (same set of worries).

Confirmed that adding italics to an existing page doesnt display italics on save - it does display the italic title after save + refresh.

However it does display italics on save, if the DISPLAYTITLE is set for a new page.

Tested with {{italics title}} and {{DISPLAYTITLE:''ItalicsTitle''}} on testwiki

So now that the dependency is merged, Parsoid now recognises {{DISPLAYTITLE:stuff}} as a meta property (instead of a template), and VE provides a box on the options page to change the display title. I think what we should do is update the title (almost) as soon as it's changed.

Yeah it's actually kind of a pain to do that. Let's update it on save.
