Thanks Vincent for your thorough reply.. You guessed it right. We intend to have clean and short urls for SEO reasons. Current scheme creates two problems:
1) The Page name is fetched automatically from the Title. Often the titles have spaces which translate as *percent characters *in url which makes it somewhat unclean :) 2) Secondly, to have the shorter url, we use only the short forms of complete title. Ex. For title 'Pune University' we use name PU. Otherwise in this hierarchy of pages, the url would be much longer. Ex. We have page 'Electronics and Telecommunications' branch under page 'Pune University'. We should not have such a long url. Instead here we need PU/ENTC or Pune-University/ENTC To avoid all this, what we currently do: 1) On create page dialog, use PU as title.. This will create url as PU. If full name is used here as title, we need to use - instead of spaces to avoid percent characters in url. 2) While in edit mode, change the title back to Pune University. Remove any - characters to make title clean. This is where confusion creeps in. If these two terms create confusion, why I need to show them both: I guess the *confusion is due to term Name*. It doesn't reflect actual usage of the term. URL or weblink or link or web address would be more apt terms to use to instead of Name. My users can differentiate between Title and URL. But the whole procedure we follow is certainly not understandable by all. And we definitely need to follow this whole long procedure, just to have short and clean urls. So, by showing both fields at the first place itself, I would like to shorten the procedure and url length. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Page-Title-and-Name-confusion-tp7603546p7603551.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
