Hi, We already had confusions between page name and page titles, and the new Create Page UI, generates the page name from the page title, and promotes title. So identifiers will be used by advanced users that will want to change the it.
We are using in Create Wiki UI, the concept 'identifier', but I guess in this use case, the uniqueness is true. I don't have other ideas on how to better name it. I'm +1 for 'identifier'. To better understand what we are talking about, here is a screenshot http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/attachment/31386/createActionUI-editLocation-newIdentifier.png Thanks, Caty On Tue, Aug 25, 2015 at 6:32 PM, Eduard Moraru <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > With the latest changes to the create UI [1] we`ve changed (mostly > following the agreed-ish proposal [2]) the old "Page Name" label in the > create UI to "Identifier" because we believed that having both "Page Title" > and "Page Name" on the same page would confuse users and they would not > know which one to use. > > Now, I`d like your quick vote on which one to stick with, since some might > consider that "Page Name" is better. > > One argument for page name (i.e. against "identifier") is that an > "identifier" is usually globally unique and in our case this is only true > within the same parent.
