Description Scott Sweeney 2012-09-27 16:23:00 UTC 
as reported in the content call.  Each template needs to supply a page title, which can be different from url title.

Is this something that still needs to be addressed?
Comment 2 Doug Schepers 2012-11-01 08:59:47 UTC 
We plan to have a title with the following structure:

 "page title : main category : WPD"

e.g.
 "font-size : CSS : WPD"

This will improve the ability to find the right tab, and improve our SEO. 

We will probably need to do this with a mediawiki extension.

I think the page title should be the title as edited:

For example this page:

    http://docs.webplatform.org/w/index.php?title=concepts/internet_and_web/html5_hybrid_applications/concepts/mobile_debugging

currently has this title:

    concepts/internet and web/html5 hybrid applications/concepts/mobile debugging - WebPlatform Docs

whereas I think it should be:

    Mobile Web Debugging

Looks particularly bad in search results:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=webplatform+mobile+debugging

It also looks a little odd on Special:AllPages.

Surely it would be easier to set it to whatever appears after the final / for example PAGENAME/SUBPAGENAME is titled SUBPAGENAME.
