When I add a contributed module to my bookmarks, I constantly append the word "module" after its name, so I can easily distinguish later if that bookmark goes to a forum post or issue, or if it is a link to a module.

It would be practical - also perhaps related to SEO (same practical distinction when browsing search results, I imagine), if the default titles included this.

For example, googling for "taxonomy batch operations" would make it clear that it is also a module (and which one links goes to it), and not only discussions about it.

PS. This may either be a change request for an update of the module names, or for the the module itself, but I choose to file it here (first) as handling this through the theme might make for an easier decision without a long discussion about the effect for other functionality, sites etc.

There is a "Modules:" prefix on the project listings already, I agree that having a singular "Module:" prefix in the title tag on the actual project page would definitely be practical.

Project listings: http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/88

Project page: http://drupal.org/project/cck

Example search: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=content+construction+kit+drupal&btn...

This may be as simple as a theme change, I'm not sure how customized project.module is on drupal.org however.

append, not prepend, as it is not a (sub)list, but a specific item.

so it would read:
- Advanced Forum Module
- Views Module
- Content Construction Kit (CCK) Module

#2: Yes, exactly.

My apologies, when looking at how it was currently done for the module listings I managed to get it turned around. I'm all for appending "Module" to the project page title.

I don't think this sort of thing should be hacked into the theme. Project module might be the best place if we want this (I don't have a strong opinion).

Project* itself doesn't know anything about "Modules" per se. The only places you see "Modules" on this site are from the d.o configuration of the project taxonomy. I say if we want this, we should put something like auto_nodetitle on d.o and configure it to do this for us. Or (sigh) reimplement a subset of that functionality in drupalorg.module. But this doesn't belong in project* IMHO.

-1 for this - unless "Module" was actually lowercased or otherwise delimited, like say "(module)" or "Module: Views". One of the rules for Coder Tough Love is specifically related to this issue: ""Module" should rarely be capitalized as part of a module's proper name." In short: the name of the module isn't "the Views Module" - it's "Views" or "the Views module". Same with everything else.

I agree that this feature should not be implemented.

I am marking this report as won't fix.
