hi,

you will have noticed a few redirects re the titles ...

this is because our wiki has some prior rules coming out of ten years of practice and to maintain some integrity in the formats

1) title are one phrase and as descriptive as possible (so no double phrase titles etc .. also better to avoid titles that have no autonomous meeting ... VoC Contributors is unlikely to have a meaning for those not knowing the specific document

2) titles take no article, all caps for verbs and nouncs but not for intermediate articles

thanks a lot for all the additions,

I suppose in this case, you will fill in the entries with copied contents from the full version ?

(Note: the articles in question are from Vocabulary of Commons)

only seeing this now, but I would be against this change. The full article and book titles are available and searchable in the entry itself, so there is no detriment to searchability, and academic book and article titles can be extremely long, and now with commercialized book titles, extremely ridiculous and misleading as well. My decision is that every title should give an indication of the real content, and it is as close to the real title as possible, and most of the times, the actual real title. Just without the subtitle. This is also by the way, standard library practice at least during the 12 years I was a librarian.

Good points, thank you Michel. I had quietly adopted your recommendations and not changed my text here ;) Simon Grant (talk) 19:57, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
