Discussion

I would like to move a few pages around, to make them adhere to some simple to remember naming conventions. The following therefore is a suggestion, please feel free to discuss, add and comment. When there is enough of a consensus, ReletBot could do the dirty work. -- relet 15:35, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I support both. I would have argued for book title capitalization, but the Wikipedia standard is reluctantly acceptable to me.

I also suggest avoiding words in page titles that have variant english spellings (e.g. ize/ise, our/or, and the doubled l in participles). So use "Travel" instead of "Travelling," for example. -Robyn 17:05, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

More support for the whole thing. That capitalization chaos is currently the worst thing about categori(z/s)ing. --Ekorren 21:22, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

You should think about changing the page templates provided in the help section to follow these conventions. For example, right now the category all new graticule pages are put in is "Inactive Graticules", if the template is used. --Meghan 15:22, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Ah, thanks! Can I have a link please? :) I've changed it on Template:Expedition, but I didn't know the graticule template. -- relet 17:17, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I have moved all achievement pages now that are listed in the appropriate categories. I know that I missed some - in that case please fix the categories, too. -- relet 18:51, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

While you're at it, the Gratuitous ribbon achievement probably shouldn't have "ahievement" in its category name. Suggest an alternative? -Robyn 18:44, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
