Good WikiName
From MusicBrainz Wiki
A good WikiName should be one
- that really describes well what the page is about,
- through which you can refer to the page in a sentence.
This means:
- Try not to use the words "Thoughts", "Issues", "Ideas", "Opinions", "Suggestions, "Proposal" in the name of a Wiki page.
- When a WikiName starts with a verb, choose the tense with care:
- If the page describes a process, it is probably best to use the gerund ("ing") form (e.g. RestructuringTheDocumentation rather than RestructureTheWiki). This is better because when you are done, you can write "we are done restructuring" but in the other form you have to say "we completed the project to restructure" instead.
- If your WikiName is a statement, it is probably best to use the imperative, like ScrapFeaturingArtistStyle.
I wrote some helpful notes on WikiPhilosophy on the page about WikiNames. There is still more material dedicated to ChoosingWikiNames on Ward's Wiki.
