Edit MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage

Hi,

How can I change the text appearing on the browser tab for the main page of my Wiki?

As an example, please look at the main page of Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

The text on the browser tab is not "Main page - Wikipedia", but instead a customized text: "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". How is this achieved?

Any help is highly appreciated!

Oh, well, the title changed by itself when I added text to the main page and saved it. It changed from "Main page - Wiki Name" to just "Wiki Name" which happened to be the title that I wanted. Problem solved.

You can edit MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage on your wiki, this will be the text displayed in the title of the browser when visiting the main page.
