Wen creating a node there is a nice h1 title saying "Submit {node type}". When returning to the node edit form later this information is gone. Many node types are indistinguishable from another based on the form alone (page, story, blog...), so I think it would be a rather nice feature to always state which node type is being edited.

Actualy, I made an error in that patch. This should be correct.

It is better if the page title remains constant when clicking tabs (that is also consistent with the rest of Drupal).

-1 on changing page titles.

Dries, despite the fact that the patch submitted wasn't satisfactory, lets keep the issue open. It still remains a fact that you can open up a drupal node for editing and have no idea what node type it is. This seems fundamentally wrong to me.

Hopefuly someone with a not-so-thick-head can think up a way to do this, I am clueless.
