Describe the Scenario

Hello. In the old version, I somehow disabled title truncation so that the article title in the title and meta would be the full title, not just a few

We don't really provide any level of official control for this.

The relevant code (for pages) can be found here: 0f40aeb0d3/app/Entities/Controllers/PageController.php (L159C36-L159C48)

This uses this function, which is shared across all the main content types:
0f40aeb0d3/app/Entities/Models/Entity.php (L342-L349)

So you could increase the 25 on the latter code reference, although this may affect other areas in the app.
Such changes to the code may interfere with updates though.
