Hi Doug,
while I agree with the general request and admit that
we have a problem as Jeff points out, I must also say that claiming
"made this mistake" is too strong.
I cannot recall any public announcement that
Wiki pages must, or even should, use a hierarchical
structure like "DSDP/TM/foobar" in the title.
The structure with slashes does have one advantage
(the little auto-generated breadcrumbs), but that's about it. Eclipse
Wiki is based on MediaWiki, which does not really
support hierarchies in the way that our TWiki does.
Consequently, any topic name that
isn't claiming
to be too general for its subject is allowed.
For instance, in TM we use
"TM and RSE FAQ"
"TM Future Planning"
"TM 2.0 Migration Docs"
"TM 2.0 Ramp Down Plan for
Europa"
"TM 2.0 Known Issues and
Workarounds"
aside several others that we do qualify with
"DSDP/TM".
Advantage of the "non-hierarchical" titles is that they
are much easier to use when putting references into readable text,
like please review the [[TM and RSE FAQ]].
Or did I miss any announcement that requires projects
to use a hierarchical namespace? Note that the Wiki also supports
Categories to apply some kind of hierarchy.
Cheers,

Hi
folks,
Jeff discovered something bad
on the DSDP wiki: poorly names wiki pages. They seem to be MTJ related, but I
figured I should ping the group to make sure no one else is doing
this.
Wiki pages should be
hierarchical, e.g. DSDP/MTJ/YourPages. You are free to create more of a
hierarchy below your project.
Christian, you or a
delegate need to fix this. Use
the “Move” button for each page that needs to be put into the hierarchy. You
will also need to manually fix your links on each page.
Has anyone else made this
mistake? I took a quick look over the sub-projects, and eRCP has some links
like this, too.

Hey Doug,
I was poking around the wiki earlier and came across a mess
of DSDP related wiki pages that have unfortunate titles. For example,
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Process
That is claiming a very generic and central spot in the
wiki url space. Would it be reasonable to ask teams to qualify their
wiki pages with something related to their project? This might be
something we should talk about at the arch council but I wanted to chat with
you about it first.
