    • Specific examples for each pattern are pages titled "X Example | APG | WAI | W3C" (e.g., "Alert Dialog Example | APG | WAI | W3C")

Audit results

From A11y audit, #5146

Testing showed that our page titles are not consistent. That some default to the Journal Name, that many do not include orientating information such as the section or journal or press.

examples:
Article - article_name | Journal name
Issues - Issues
Issues [Clean] - journal_name
Articles - Articles
Collections - journal_name | Collections:
News Item - News - news_title
News Item [Clean] - news_title
Journals - press_name | Journals
Journals [OLH] - press_name

Work to do

• decide on a pattern that fits our set of pages. It should orientate as well as inform as per hte example above.
  • consider how to handle the OLH site. In order to orientate users between press and journal level, having press and journal both named the same means additional context is needed beyond just using their names to distinguish between press and journal.
• update all title templates to follow this pattern.

Start with the audit findings from #5146 and compare the listed page-title examples against the WCAG 2.4.2 requirement. Locate the title templates producing the inconsistent formats, decide a pattern that distinguishes press and journal levels, and update all templates so page titles consistently describe their topic or purpose.
