English[edit]

We have the Wikipedia-style habit of not getting the word English in the title. Some of the time, that's gonna be pretty difficult. Also we should have a bit more structure. Now it's ok with 39 appendices, but when it's 200 we'll be glad of structure. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:11, 25 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

I completely agree. I would suggest a topical division for appendices of terms peculiar to professions. bd2412 T 18:53, 28 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Contents of Category:English appendices which does not contain the word English

Things like Appendix:Animals. Do we want to

  • Get the word English in there somewhere?
  • Use the 'topical' system, so a Hebrew appendix would be Appendix:he:Animals, not Hebrew animals, or animals (Hebrew).

On reflection the second system makes more sense. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:20, 6 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

If I understood correctly, after your proposed change, Appendix:Animals would contain names of animals in English and Appendix:he:Animals would contain names of animals in Hebrew. If this name system becomes widely used for all appendices, how to name appendices containing words of various languages, like Appendix:Days of the week, assuming they would still exist? --Daniel. 11:55, 16 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
