Title:	How to skip edit of the node title	» Add a #skip_edit equivalent for pseudo fields
Category:	Support request	» Feature request

After a little investigation I see I can override theme_edit_wrap_field() to not add the wrapper but that seems a bit hackish.

Maybe this should instead be a feature request.

When pseudo field are generated we have access to the entity type, entity id, field name, language, view mode, and bundle, so we could have a hook that gets called with that info and modules can return false to deny editing.

That's the first idea that springs to mind but there are a bunch of ways it could be done.

You'll want to use hook_edit_editor_metadata_alter() to do that :) As you already say, there's no clear way to do this because titles aren't rendered using the Render API.

You'll want to do something like this:

/**
 * Implements hook_edit_editor_metadata_alter()
 */ 
function yourmodule_edit_editor_metadata_alter(&$metadata, $context) {
  if ($context['entity_type'] === 'node' && $context['field_name'] === 'title') {
    $metadata['access'] = FALSE;
  }
}

EXCEPT… that that hook is also called exclusively for non-extra fields. So I updated the invocation of that hook, added a little bit more context, and now the above exact code works: I tried it myself :)
