| Nov 19, 2023 at 1:22 | comment | added | philipxy | None of those hyphenations should even be there because they do not shorten the number of lines the title would take. There is a fundamental confusion/misunderstanding about why/when hyphenation should happen. | |

| May 12, 2022 at 19:31 | comment | added | barbara beeton | If you're going to hyphenate, at least do it correctly. This seems to be fixed now, but in the tex.stackexchange thread earlier today, i saw "\loggin-gall", Of course, TeX commands shouldn't be hyphenated at all, but that is just execrable! | |
| Apr 29, 2022 at 17:24 | comment | added | Jonathan Herrera | Hyphenation is particularly problematic in german.SE: german.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1694/… In the scope of this site, hyphenation is problematic, as question migth come in English, German language or even mixed languages (titles of English questions with German words or clauses in the title make up the biggest part). Hence, hyphenation of titles in german.SE is broken. Easiest fix would be to not hyphenate the titles at all. | |

same style of word-breaks also seen on the Questions page

| Feb 11, 2022 at 22:34 | comment | added | ColleenV | @BenKelly I don't think this is a feature request, I think this is a sort of bug (although not the "it's broke" kind, but rather a "we didn't think about that for our style guide" bug). Titles should not use hyphens to handle overflow. Even excessively long words with no reasonable place to break them should just be wrapped without a hyphen in a title. | |
