5 Page titles are used to display in the interface a user-friendly description of the Page. They are usually, short and meaningful. You can set the title when [[creating a Page>>documentation.xs.user.base.page.create.WebHome]]. If you don't set it, it will automatically use the Page name as a Page title. You can change the title later, when editing with the Page with the [[In-place WYSIWYG editor>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.edit-page.WebHome]], [[Standalone WYSIWYG editor>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.edit-page.edit-standalone-wysiwyg-editor.WebHome]], or with the [[Wiki editor>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.edit-page.edit-wiki-editor.WebHome]].
