Naming convention[]

Lhyn, why not make the page Shackles Ward or Shackles Ward (Calimport)? - Darkwynters (talk) 22:06, March 20, 2015 (UTC)

I think that subpages are a great feature of wikis that are underused. I like the automatic back navigation. I think supages make wikis more organized. Sometimes pages get enormous, which makes for bad articles, but the text moved really does belong to the parent topic. Subpages always show up clustered together when one is searching or on category pages also, (and underneath their parent), which I think it better.
There is also a big inconsistency already with "ward" pages across this wiki, we see "Foo Ward", "Foo Ward (Bar)", and "Foo Ward of Bar". (As an aside, we should not need "Foo Ward (Bar)" unless there are multiple "Foo Wards" across different cities.)
These are all minor things, of course, but I figured I'd set up an example of it with Calimport.
FWIW Shackles Ward redirects to Calimport/Shackles Ward. If this goes against an official naming convention, we can easily change it, but I thought it was worth discussing and wanted to make an example first. Let me know.
