[opensuse-wiki] "11.2 <topic>" is not the best way to name current article
http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:Distribution/Features "11.2 <topic>" is not the best way to reference to current version of <topic>. It would be probably better to use * "Current <topic>", like "Current release" * "<topic>" , like "Release" where is transcluded version specific article, which avoids "redirected from" message and link. * "<topic> (current)" It creates titles that have to be updated on every release, which is not that hard if above article would be the only one, but from current en.o.o experience it is clear that one prominent example is followed and after some time there a tens of articles that need regular updates. Maybe there is something better that didn't come up yet, like some of extensions "DoNotShowAfter", "ExpirationDate", "MoveToArchiveAfter" :) -- Regards Rajko, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

Maybe we should standardize on <pagename>_<dist_version> like some pages already do, eg. Product_highlights_11.2. I thought about using a 11.2/<pagename> structure, but was convinced by henne that we don't need subpages here, but a navigation bar. So I created the template {{Distribution_release_navbar|11.2}} that can be used for distribution release specific pages. What do you think about this?

Correct because the main namespace will contain <topic> ONLY for the current version. 11.2 stuff belongs into Archive: once 11.3 is out. No need to re-invent namespaces in article names :) Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.
