Project: 
Drupal core
Introduced in branch: 
8.0.x
Issue links:

Description: 

The page title was previously printed directly in the page template using a special variable just for the title.

This is the previous code from the default page template:

  {% if title %}
    <h1>{{ title }}</h1>
  {% endif %}

The page title is now provided by a block so it can be easily moved without editing the page template.

The markup for the page title can be edited in page-title.html.twig, and template_preprocess_page_title() can be used in conjunction with the template. For example, the shortcut module uses this preprocess function to place shortcuts in the title_suffix after the page title.

The page title variable is still placed manually in the maintenance and install page templates, as blocks are not available during site installation and maintenance.

FYI: there is no template_preprocess_page_title that is mentioned in here or in the template file.

It's been a year, but there is now. I'm using Drupal 8.1.

It goes in your themename.theme file:

<?php
function themename_preprocess_page_title(&$variables) {
  kint($variables);
}

?>
