Apparently this is what I'm referring to - I just set the title via
editing Mediawiki:MySpecialPage - thankyou!

Are you refering to SpecialPage::getDescription()? (Which, by default,
calls wfMsg() with the lowercase version of the page name. So if your
special page is called SomeSpecialPageIWrote, you would want to look
at [[MediaWiki:somespecialpageiwrote]].)

That appears to be for the HTML <title> tags. I assume you're talking
about the title at the top of the page.

That's entirely possible. However, this is not an authoritative source
in the areas of mental stability. ;)
