Wikibooks talk:Policies and guidelines/Vote/Naming policy

Wording of policy
I think I understand the direction that this policy is going, but I'm trying to find another example other than "contents" for a generic chapter name. The emphasis here, IMHO, is that we don't want to have people naming "chapters" with random names like this is a duplicate of Wikipedia. Periodic Table is one that comes to mind that has been used in the past which is generally something that should not be used in this generic sense, but instead should conform to the naming policy instead.

The point here is that we don't want to discourage the use of a table of contents for a Wikibook, or to stop the practice of a "front page" followed by a seperate table of contents. Personally, I think that is an impressive format and is asthetically nice for those Wikibooks who have done that. This is just to stop using the page Contents, which has been abused repeatedly in the past by many new Wikibooks, as evidenced by its deletion history. See http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=Contents for details. I just think we can give a better example. --Rob Horning 11:55, 12 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Introduction? Or maybe I have books on the same subject at Wikijunior, GCSE, A-Level and undergraduate level. Those books may share similar page names. I could have, say, Wikijunior Kings and Queens of England/Henry VIII, GCSE History/Henry VIII, A-Level History/Henry VIII and Wikiversity History/Henry VIII, not to mention references to the Shakespeare play, Henry VIII', Jguk 16:46, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
