==History Naming conventions==


This has been discussed before but deserves a fuller debate. The central points of contention is whether general articles (e.g [[France, history]]) should be called [[History of France]] or even [[French history]]. The idea is that the keyword should be first in an article such as this, with people searching for [[France]] in a general search will see a list of articles, e.g:

*[[France]]
*[[France, history]]
*[[France, politics]]
*[[France, literature]]

The heading "Join! Help us create the world's most trusted encyclopedia and knowledge base.

does not seem to be a good example of the kind of writing to be expected here. Is the last sentence a sentence? I propose, but do not know how to accomplish, the head be changed to something like:
 
"Join us, and help us create the world's most trusted encylopedia and knowedge base. Where the general public and experts collaborate, using our real names, creating a new society of knowledge."

Revision as of 02:23, 9 February 2008

This is a proposed page where general proposals can be made by the community-at-large under various topics.

The justification for having this page is that all serious policy proposals would be able to have a central location on-wiki that everyone could see, monitor, and make comments on.

Additionally, this page will be a feeding point for those proposals to make it up the various ladders for adjudication. It is not recommended that actual policy is to be established in ad-hoc style or by de facto on this page--rather, it facilitates the ability to make proposals and represent community evaluations.

This will provide a better scope for members, as not everyone is involved in the forums, as well as are recipients of dispatches from the various mailing lists.

Also see [CZ:Proposals/Queue]] for the queue of proposals if this page becomes policy.
