FamilySearch Wiki talk:Naming a Project: Difference between revisions

[[User:G Fröberg Morris|G Fröberg Morris']] title [[FamilySearch Wikiproject: Danish Articles Needing Revision|FamilySearch Wikiproject: Danish Articles Needing Revision]] captures that the page is about a project and that the project is on FamilySearch Wiki (for outsiders doing a Google search). [[User:Ritcheymt|Ritcheymt]] 23:10, 8 April 2009 (UTC)  

:If FamilySearch is thinking of having more than one Wiki, then the namespace "WikiProject" might be confused with the other Wikis. Maybe "Research WikiProject" would work, but it is long. I hope we get other ideas from the community. [[User:Franjensen|Franjensen]] 15:57, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

:I do not like the cumbersome names of projects as we are currently using them. I would like to see them shortened as much as possible and still retain a brief idea of the content of the project -- enough to draw potential contributors to that project. I would vote for a namespace of ''WikiProject'' (second choice ''Project'') with as short a title as possible following it. At the top of that project's page should be as brief statement of the scope and purpose of that project. Most potential contributors would be willing to click once to get to a page which describes the project in a little more detail, so they could decide whether or not they would like to contribute. I agree with the concern about confusing users of the Wiki by having the projects in the Main namespace and the potential problem of spamming the search results.[[User:Jbparker|Jbparker]] 05:30, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
