removing page number for title page

Question

I'm using titlepage to create a title/abstract page for a paper, and I don't want a page number to appear, so I use the following fragment:

\begin{titlepage}
\clearpage\thispagestyle{empty}
  \maketitle

\begin{abstract}

\end{abstract}

\end{titlepage}

inside a default article class. While the page number resets correctly (so the second page is labelled '1'), the page number '1' still appears on the first page. I'm sure there's some obvious mistake I'm making here, and would be grateful for some help.

Answer 1

\maketitle sets the page style to plain, so you need to move \thispagestyle{empty} to after \maketitle:

\clearpage\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}

Answer 2

Instead of using titlepage, you can use the environment titlingpage from the titling package. From its manual: "The pagestyle [of titlingpage] is empty; at the end it starts another ordinary page numbered page 1."

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{titling,lipsum}
\title{This is title of my document}
\begin{document}
    \begin{titlingpage}
        \maketitle
        \begin{abstract}
            \lipsum[1]
        \end{abstract}
    \end{titlingpage}
\lipsum[1-10]
\end{document}
