When you got to any trope here, you get its name in title bar of browser and when you want to save the page in borowser, you get its name there as well.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ParentalSubstitute

However, when you are on such types of pages, tropes with so many examples that they have to be split up into many categories, such title in title bar of browser (tested in Opera and Firefox) is missing.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/AndTheFandomRejoiced/Film

There is only "Film" in title bar.

Is there something that can be done with this, or are there technical reasons why it is difficult/impossible to fix, or is it simply "not important enough" to fix ?

It's due to how namespaces work. Since in this case "And The Fandom Rejoiced" is the namespace, it gets omitted from the title at the top of the browser.

Hmmm...maybe there could be something so that if the namespace wasn't "main" or a media namespace, it wouldn't be omitted?

Dare you to do a Google search for something like site:tvtropes.org "InuYasha - Television Tropes & Idioms" and tell me the results do NOT indicate some kind of problem.

I'm of the opinion that namespaces (other than Main) should be included in the page title by default.

Top entry is the main work page on my search, so I don't see what the deal is. Unless you're not getting the same result, which is probably because something about the way you searched in the past is screwing you over (remember, Google searches are normally tailored based on your previous internet jaunts).

Regarding to my original problem, it still would be nice if it worked like a normal page. It is actually sub-page of it, but technically it isn't:

tvtropes org / pmwiki / pmwiki php/ is the same for both and then

And The Fandom Rejoiced / Film

Main / And The Fandom Rejoiced

I'm not big on technical things, but is it possible to do something like

Main / And The Fandom Rejoiced / Film

and let it take "title" after it's parent, like in programming ?

No, we can't do nested namespaces like that, though we could do Film.And The Fandom Rejoiced or Main.And The Fandom Rejoiced Film (possibly custom titled to Main.And the Fandom Rejoiced (Film))

You should at least notice how every single search result has the same page title. It's not "Character Sheet - Inuyasha", "Quotes - Inuyasha", "Awesome Moments - Inu Yasha", etc., just Inuyasha, Inuyasha, Inuyadda yadda yadda and so on.
