In my opinion, there is no problem with multiple pages having the
same title; actually, the manual has a lot of page titled
"Predefined Constants", for example. The link texts are, however,
unfortunate.

Lets start with the structure of the english version:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php
links with label "Reserved Predefined Variables" to /manual/en/reserved.variables.php
Both have title "Predefined Variables".
In German we have
https://www.php.net/manual/de/language.variables.predefined.php
linking with label "Vordefinierte Variablen"
to /manual/de/reserved.variables.php
Both have title "Vordefinierte Variablen"
So, 2 different pages with the same title is confusing.
The first title is OK, the second should be different.
As newby to PHP I am not entitled to decide, if "Reserved" is the right word or if there
exists something better.

They aren't actually reserved, though. You can assign to and overwrite them if you wish. $_GET,
$_POST, even $GLOBALS. It's bad practice, but you *could*.
Additionally the page linked to calls itself "Predefined Variables".

Oh, it seems to be a translation issue. The engl
en: Reserved Predefined Variables
de: Vordefinierte Variablen ("Reservierte " is missing)

That is view-source:https://www.php.net/manual/de/language.variables.predefined.php
in https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php
it is at the end of the first para:
For a listing of these variables, please see the section on Reserved Predefined Variables.
