Conventions
Regarding Subpages
For which sections of the Site
Only pages within the "Development" section of the Sitestructure should use subpages. All pages in this Section should be either Super or Subpage. The Superpages are the following:
- Engine
- Lua
- Unit
- COB -- this maybe needs to go into Unit ? or be renamed to Scripting, as it's not just COB anymore ?
- CEG
- Map
- AI
Pretty much all other pages should be subpages of one of these categories/superpages (the exception I would say are two pages, one grouping "content", the other grouping "coding" - AI, Engine and Lua.
We only use one level of Super and Subpage (no Unit-Cob-Animation or similiar). Superpages should match with categories.
Altogether as little as possible is my suggestion. Seanheron 22:43, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Seperator
Use a "-" to seperate between the super and subpage. So we have Units-FBI, Maps-SMD, AI-Interface, etc.
Use "/" or ":" or "_" or "-" ?? Images seem to be broken if you use "/" to seperate parent and subpage
Regarding naming
Please use short phrases for Names within the SiteStructure. Using more than three words is advised against, two will usually be optimal. CamelCase is probably the easiest way of achieving naming consistency (as Capitilization is clear).
Ie do we use CamelCase or write out the name seperately (words seperated by space " ") ? And pagenames - entire sentences, or limit to one or two words? Of course we don't have to force this on everything, but perhaps guidelines could be useful.
Chat
So as to keep some order, we'll draw up some page naming conventions here, shall we ?
The most immediate issue is subpage naming - we currently have CEG_Something (COB_same) and Unit:Other (Map:Aswell).
It would be neater to have that all in the same style, and while we're at it, decide on when to use a "subpage" like style, and when to use names without prefixes.
