Naming conventions when creating pages

We're trying to enforce some structure to the content of the wiki, so we'd really appreciate it if you follow these guidelines:

  • The naming convention of pages is <section>/<abbreviated_page_name>.
  • Please make abbreviations succinct but meaningful. We abbreviate so you don't have to type in long urls.
  • An underscore (_) is used as the delimiter in page names.
  • Before creating any new pages, please check how pages in the same category are namespaced. We've seeded a bunch of content and structure specifically for this reason.
    • FAQs should be under faq/abbreviated_faq_name
    • HOWTOs should be under howto/abbreviated_howto_name
  • Namespacing should never be more than 2 deep, 3 at most. If you creating pages /with/more/than/three/levels, have a think about whether your page needs to be where it is.
