Evaluate if the Top Bar entity title needs to show extra

Created on 14 January 2025, 5 days ago

Problem/Motivation

The Top Bar in the new Navigation adds the title into the Top Bar. This eliminates contextual info added to the Page Title until now. Evaluate if there is a way to include this contextual info into the Top bar.

See background of this suggestion by @berdir on his #21 comment 📌 [PP1] Show entity information on the Top Bar Postponed :

I guess one question is whether canonical pages and edit/delete pages should both just show the title or something else. I feel like Edit %title would duplicate the page title, the screenshot in https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal/-/merge_requests/10417#note_43... shows that perfectly. Is that really useful? The same can be said about the frontend, but on the frontend, the title is usuallly further away and not always obvious, depending on the design (hero elements, hidden titles, ...

Proposed resolution

Evaluate if this info can be communicated with new UI elements.

    > Claro prepends the "Edit" words into the title itself, in italics:

    Technically, Drupal/the node module does that. If Gin is different then it explicitly overrides and customizes that. So we'll need to figure out who does what. navigation will eventually become the default/only/recommended solution in core but it won't be mandatory, so it might fall to that module to adjust things to fit with information in the top bar, but that's something to figure out once the design/goal is clear.
