Remove "site name" from every page title?

[fredrikaverpil]

All pages in my docs ends with - <my site name>. Is there anyway to prevent pages to end with this?

The reason for why I would like to do that is because, when using Giscus I would like to use the page title to create a discussion. It looks really weird when - <my site name> is always appended to the title.

Sure, you can override the title using theme extension, specifically the htmltitle block:

mkdocs-material/src/base.html

Lines 74 to 82 in 6a4be6b

	{% block htmltitle %}
	{% if page.meta and page.meta.title %}
	<title>{{ page.meta.title }} - {{ config.site_name }}</title>
	{% elif page.title and not page.is_homepage %}
	<title>{{ page.title | striptags }} - {{ config.site_name }}</title>
	{% else %}
	<title>{{ config.site_name }}</title>
	{% endif %}
	{% endblock %}

Something like this:

{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block htmltitle %}
  {% if page.meta and page.meta.title %}
    <title>{{ page.meta.title }}</title>
  {% elif page.title and not page.is_homepage %}
    <title>{{ page.title | striptags }}</title>
  {% else %}
    <title>{{ config.site_name }}</title>
  {% endif %}
{% endblock %}
