Pages are neither books nor articles but they are closer to articles than to books. Therefore, I would propose to use lower case letters for all words except the first one. Since changing the title actually means moving the page, we should agree on this point here before doint further page renamings. Best wishes, Wolfgang Not that I'm anyone important, but I have no problem with that (lower case except for first word). This is also what Wikipedia does. So then let's use this convention?

[Haskell] Re: page names on the new Haskell wiki
Wolfgang Jeltsch wrote: Hello, the names of the pages of the new MediaWiki-driven Haskell wiki are often rather directory names than article titles as they are on Wikipedia. For example, the page Books and tutorials about Haskell isn't named Books and tutorials about Haskell or Books and tutorials but just Books. Another example is the GHC documentation page which is named GHC/Documentation. Here the slash is used to express a hierarchy as it's done in UNIX path names, for example. But Wikipedia uses the slash just where it is used normally. For example, the term I/O contains a slash and the Wikipedia article about I/O is named I/O. MediaWiki uses / to create hierarchy also, though Wikipedia happens to discourage this use. If you go to GHC/Documentation, you'll see a link back to the parent GHC near the top of the page. This is inserted by the MediaWiki software, but only because the page GHC exists. You can also create relative links, see the GHC page source for examples. On the other hand, if someone were to create a page I/O, it wouldn't have a link back to I unless that page existed. So you can have it either way. I propose that we stick to the Wikipedia convention and choose page names which are a short description of the page's topic in normal (English) language. Remember, that the page name is not only part of the page's URL but also displayed as a title on the page and in the window's title bar. What do you think? I don't mind people creating hierarchies such as Simon M's performance resource. It may not be appropriate for a pure encyclopedia like Wikipedia, but HaskellWiki will be replacing the haskell.org site (shortly) and a more hierarchical structure may be appropriate for some content. ___ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell

Should the page title be Books and tutorials or Books and Tutorials, for example? Since pages are only small documents, I chose the lower-case alternative but currently the Haskell website uses upper-case. I think that title case would be appropriate. Wikipedia uses first word only, e.g. Books and tutorials. ___ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
