I find that the category is part of the context which is often required to fully understand what a topic title means.
Is it possible to add the category to the page title? I think it would be useful in search results (as in Google, not Discourse’s built-in search).
Cheers,
Dan

Where do you think it should appear? Before or after the topic in the title tag?

Don’t think it’s super important but I would say after, just for consistency - keeping the elements in order of specificity.
Topic title - Category name - Discourse title

Well right now if you view source you can see the `` of this page, for example, has
`Can we display category in page title? - Discourse Meta`
So should that become
`Can we display category in page title? - Support - Discourse Meta`
or
`Support - Can we display category in page title? - Discourse Meta`

As the category is the 2nd most/least specific term out of it, the forum name and the topic, I’d just slot it in the middle.
`Topic title - Category name - Discourse title`
`Can we display category in page title? - Support - Discourse Meta`

It definitely should not be first. I keep my tabs pretty small and the title of the topic is much more important than the category.
I’m happy to make this change, should take 5 mins or so, just say the word @codinghorror

Yeah probably fine, add category / subcategory to the end ala:
`Topic title - Category name / Subcategory name - Discourse title`
