Anyone else notice how the <title> of this page is "Intent and product brand in a unique string of 43-59 chars including spaces | Microsoft Docs"?

Which is obviously a placeholder, so I wonder how much Microsoft really cared about this release.

I wonder how much Microsoft really cared about this release.

Or someone could have made a mistake.

Thanks for pointing out this mistake. I'll let the right person know to get this updated.

Some context: Every article on docs.microsoft.com is written in markdown. However there is some additional metadata front matter that is easy to overlook (and new authors may not always be familiar with it). I certainly have done that before myself.

Disclaimer: I'm a Developer Advocate for Azure. My parent group also owns the docs.microsoft.com infrastructure.

I laughed at this:

Some of this accidentally made it into production :) We're working on fixing this.

Of course, that's why I wonder if they really cared or if it was just a mistake.

Another one of their pages (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum/quantum-techniques-...) has this, as well as git merge issues and an improperly generated link...

Thanks! I'll let the authors know!

PM on docs.microsoft.com team - already working on fixing this, thanks for the feedback!

The titles are now fixed!

At least one link still shows the outdated title. See second paragraph under “Grouping” in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum/quantum-qr-expressi...

Should be fixed as well, thanks for the report!

It's funny. Reading all these reports/comments from hackernews about all the glitches in the document. "This will be fixed, thx" there and "I reported this, thx". Looks like Hackernews is part of the Quality Assurance process of Microsoft.

Here is one more from my side, (having wrong title) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum/quantum-qr-statemen...

Or maybe it's a draft document? It's obviously a side project in any case.

Can we get a mod to update the title?

;)

Once one person notices the title of a page, for the rest of time nobody else is able to notice the same?

The original comment was already on docs.microsoft.com and served no purpose being repeated here aside from being a vehicle to look like a smug prick

Fact: any time anything is discussed anywhere, it can never be discussed on any other forum ever again forever. Doing so would make the person who discussed it the second time be a smug prick for not checking to make sure his comment was wholly original.

The comment being posted here got the attention of at least two Microsoft employees, including dend, the PM on the docs team who got the issue fixed.
