Description
Problem
- Self-Defined sometimes builds page titles in ways that don't accurately reflect the user's path through the site.
- There's no obvious breadcrumb path on the page as the user navigates the site.
Example
When the user interacts with the Documentation
link, they're taken to a page whose title reads: "Docs « Documentation « Self-Defined"
. Because this title has three segments, users who read or hear it might believe they have taken two steps through the site when they have only taken one.
Navigating to an individual definition causes a similarly unexpected title-path jump.
Possible solutions
- Improve the pattern of page-titling such that titles are more predictable.
- Provide a navigation breadcrumb so the user can find their way through multiple navigation levels of the site.
In the case of the "Documentation" page and some others, we could "flatten" the title structure a bit more. "Documentation" is the root of the "Documentation" section; it does not need a third title segment.
