[opensuse-wiki] Wrong capitalization in wiki.o.o
Hi all, I noticed that quite a lot of articles recently migrated to wiki.o.o have bad [1] title capitalization (Camel Case). If there are no objections, I'll go through all the articles, fix capitalization (article title and section titles) and _delete_ the redirects.

Hi, Yes, go ahead. This is a know "bug" and a few articles have already been re-checked. R. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

Hi,
Yes, go ahead.
JFYI, this is what I did: 1. Fixed title capitalization of articles in all namespaces. Some articles still have bad capitalization (e.g. openSUSE:Build_Service_Camel_Case) - I'll come back to these later. After moving (renaming) each article, I fixed all links pointing to the old name and deleted the redirect. 2. Every time I edited an article, I also tried to fix capitalization of section headers. 3. Fixed capitalization of categories. 4. Deleted all references to Template:Contentcheck - IMHO useless in new instance. 5. Went through Special:WantedTemplates and fixed most of the references to non-existant Templates. The WantedTemplates page still lists e.g. Intro-frame as wanted template with 31 links to it, but [1] says that "No pages link to Template:Intro-frame". I don't get it. 6. Renames all pages SDB:$foo*HOWTO to SDB:$foo, as I believe the HOWTO suffix is redundant in SDB: namespace. Links fixed, redirects deleted. Random thoughts: A. A lot of fun is waiting at [2]. ATM it lists ~1500 broken links. Most of them broken because the linked pages simply have not been migrated yet, but many also because the pages were migrated to different namespace (e.g. Contrib->openSUSE:Contrib). B. Combination of All is Text [3] FF extension, Gvim and mediawiki plugin [4] proved to be quite useful for mass edits. If you want to give it a shot, add following lines to your .vimrc: autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *wiki.opensuse.org* setfiletype Wikipedia autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *en.opensuse.org* setfiletype Wikipedia [1] http://wiki.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere&target=Template%3AIntro-frame [2] http://wiki.opensuse.org/Special:WantedPages [3] https://addons.mozilla.org/cs/firefox/addon/4125 [4] http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1787 That's all for now, thanks for your attention.

This is CamelCase, but this is not Camel_Case :) ...

The WantedTemplates page still lists e.g. Intro-frame as wanted template with 31 links to it, but [1] says that "No pages link to Template:Intro-frame". I don't get it.
I would say that is remnant of mass deletion using nuke*.php when Henne started. The cure, must be some, beside direct access to MySQL and deleting references manually. There are many maintenance scripts in MediaWiki. Someone that can read PHP should check. There are some extensions for mass deletion too.
6. Renames all pages SDB:$foo*HOWTO to SDB:$foo, as I believe the HOWTO suffix is redundant in SDB: namespace. Links fixed, redirects deleted.
It is. I would get rid of old article that explains difference between FAQ, HOWTO and SDB.

That was always major fun preventing any attempt to move a lot of articles in the old wiki, and that will be a big headache once wikis are switched. We will have to provide wiki redirects for a some pages or otherwise .... :) ...
That's all for now, thanks for your attention.

I'm confused. The above looks correct. A title is all in upper case. Correct: openSUSE Build Service Introduction Wrong (CamelCase): openSUSE_BuildServiceIntroduction Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

We decided to use Wikipedia style of title (and section headers) capitalization: [1], [2], [3] From [3]: <quote> Convention: For page titles, always use lowercase after the first word, and do not capitalize second and subsequent words, unless the title is a proper noun. For multiword page titles, one should leave the second and subsequent words in lowercase unless the title phrase is a proper noun that would always occur capitalized, even in the middle of a sentence. </quote> Therefore, the proper capitalization should be openSUSE Build Service introduction (given "Build Service" is proper noun)
Correct: openSUSE Build Service Introduction
Wrong (CamelCase): openSUSE_BuildServiceIntroduction
