As I remember the discussion, it was "let's use "C plus plus" for the moment, we will rename the category to Cpp later". > Now I'm looking at the tip titles and am wondering about > those that want to use "C++". > > Example "STL (Standard Template Library/C++) help via tags": > http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip931 > > Why did we decide to use "C plus plus" for the category? Wikipedia seems > able to use "C++". The following article is in Category:C++ due to this > wikitext: > [[Category:C++]] > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++ > > The Wikipedia rules for titles say that '+' can be a problem (and it gives > examples where that occurs). But it seems that "C++" is ok for everyday > usage. That's why the first C++ category created was "C++" -- "C sharp" name was also the result of my mimicking the names used in wikipedia. However, I did not test it enough to notice it was not read accessible (we were systematically redirected to C category). IIRC, we were only able to edit the category. A few weeks later, "C plus plus" was created. > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(technical_restric > tions)#Plus > > Can anyone throw any light on this?
