Description
Using AdminSite to customize admin site title does not work 100%
following  the docs here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/contrib/admin/#customizing-the-adminsite-class
almost work  but the html title still has "Django administration", basically in base_site.html
{% block title %}{{ title }} | {{ site_title|default:_('Django site admin') }}{% endblock %}
"title" seems not customizable while "site_title" is customizable

Tim,
I would like to remove "Django administration" before the vertical bar, site_title works as you stated to change the text after the vertical bar,
I have this on each page
<title>Django administration | MyCustomizedSiteTitle</title>

That's strange, because the left side of the title tag is set by the view and changes for each type of admin page. The right side is AdminSite.site_title and the page main h1 tag is AdminSite.site_header.
Check if your admin templates are not overridden by some app.

you are right the problem is in django_admin_bootstrapped sorry for the annoiance
Use
AdminSite.site_titleif you want to customize what's after the vertical bar.{{ title }}displays the page title which is different for each page.
