passing page details via GA4 page_view event

I have some specific details about each page I want to pass to Analytics 4. Should I use push a standard page_view event with my extra parameters or a custom event like page_details or something (will that difference matter)? Since GA4 automatically records this event when the page loads, will passing another page_view event apply to the current page view or will Analytics consider this an independent page view and make it inaccurately double the page views?

First, if you are sending page_view events manually you should set off your gtag auto pageview sender:

        gtag('config', GTAG_KEY, {
            'send_page_view' : false
        });

Having send_page_view enabled (by default ON) and sending manually events can result in double page_view events.

Then, about sending extra parameters, you could do something like this:

        gtag('event', 'page_view', { 'page_details' : 'your value here' });
