DAv, why do your pages for this timeline have names that don't refer to the timeline? For instance, "timelines/1812" brings up the 1812 eents in your timeline, and "timeine/nations" brings up your nation list.

Yes, it is poor naming. We should try not to use generic names for pages for specific timelines.

Not sure I quite follow. I was going for the same idea that Thande did on the Wiki with giving extra information on his TL via nations and Wars etc. I just haven't gotten round to filling them all in yet. You're welcome to add anything you wish provided you leave the original TL alone.

Instead of timelines:timeline, it would be better to name it something like timelines:timeline_for_BI19C.


For instance I have:

a timeline page called timelines:for_want_of _a _newsreel

and a page of maps for it called

timelines:maps_for_want_of _a _newsreel

edit: if you don't object I can take care of it.

If I had called it timelines:maps, that wouldn't have been good.


If anyone else used your same naming strategy they'd be using the same names you are, that's the issue.

edit: if you don't mind I can change it for you.

If you would please. I don't know how to edit with keeping what links and pages I already made.
