Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I made my modifications on 6.4 but this is probably a feature for 7.x.
Consider giving the ability to change default page titles from the corresponding default menu link title.
Here's an example of something that is potentially confusing to new Drupal admins and a small source of frustration. An administrator can change the Menu Link Title of default menu links, such as "Create content" which links to "node/add", but the corresponding page title (Create content) does not change. I used an implementation of hook_menu_alter() in a small custom module in order to change the title of these pages.
$items['tracker']['title'] = 'Recent Chatter';
$items['node/add']['title'] = 'Compose Chatter';

aren cambre commentedGood idea, but I think you have it reversed: page title is on every page, but menu title is optional. Therefore, menu title should depend on page title by default.
I'm going to be bold and say this duplicates #195014: Make Page title the default Menu link title. If I'm wrong, please feel free to change status.

Sborsody commentedHrm no I think you got it backwards and possibly I wrote a poor title for this issue. There's no place to change the titles of default pages like node/add or tracker. I thought maybe it could be done by allowing what the admin puts as the Menu Link Title to override the Page Title. But since I wrote this, my attention was pointed to a module called String Overrides (http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides), which takes care of this problem.
I'm going to edit the issue title and just change the status to "won't fix" because there's the module.
