As this thread is devoted to article title topic, I'll collect comments here before writing FAQ and/or "Help:Article_title".
Besides slash we use a dash(-) instead of plain space very often (me too, and very recently too).
There is no difference in informational value if title contains separators different then space.
http://wiki.opensuse.org/Category:Marketing
[+] Marketing-archives (1) [+] Marketing-resources (5) [+] Marketing-team (3)
All three category article titles are perfectly valid without dash.
[+] Marketing archives (1) [+] Marketing resources (5) [+] Marketing team (3)
The only difference is that I can guess "Marketing archives" in a first try, it is just plain English, but with any other separator then space, I have to take chances with:
[+] Marketing/archives (1) [+] Marketing/resources (5) [+] Marketing/team (3)
or [+] Marketing:archives (1) [+] Marketing:resources (5) [+] Marketing:team (3)
or [+] Marketing#archives (1) [+] Marketing#resources (5) [+] Marketing#team (3)
Each separator different from space brings side effects in. 1) Slash (/) creates subpages, and download with wget will give only name after last slash 2) Colon (:) opens chance to misinterpretation by MediaWiki software, and makes parsing with a scripts a bit more sophisticated task, then it should be 3) Hash (#) is section title within article
Okay , thanks for making "-" thing clear.So now lets proceed with normal title (with space and no /,-,#) .I see you made changes to one - thanks,rest I'll do it by tonight.
