I don't  know if it can be removed from the page titles. It is an important
part of  the information about the page (its namespace).
....in some applications
 
I doubt if florian would have asked the question if removing it were not  
more important than keeping it in florian's application. I've also found it to  
be an intrusive and unnecessary inclusion for some circumstances. 
 
Of course it can be removed. One approach would involve working back  through 
the code to find where it is created, but a more straightforward  approach 
will probably be to search for the semicolon in 'pagetitle' then delete  
everything before the colon. I can probably put this on my list to work out  because 
I want to get rid of those often unnecessarily visible vestiges of the  
software architecture, but I will probably be a few days before i find  time to look 
into it. If nothing else works out, I'll try to get to it  and post a result 
then. 



But you can remove it from links in pages, like  this:
