Naming conventions

Hi Dirko

I think that we will need to agree a standard way of naming players.

For example, Cornes has three players who played for GFC. Obviously Graham is the one with the most interest for Glenelg fans, but sooner or later we will be including the sons in the list and just the surname wont separate them.

I suggest we use christian and surnames, and if there are multiple players with the same name then we include middle initials. This is what Blueseum does. If we have any where the names are absolutely identical we can list the more prolific player and have a link at the top to the "lesser" player's page. How does that sound?

Naming Individual Matches

Do you think it would make more sense to have the article page for a particular Round named after the Round and year (like they do on Blueseum) rather than the calendar date, which means little to a casual reader? Thus the game on 7 May 1921 would be on a page called Round 1 1921.

I think that makes a lot more sense. The whole season is played in "Rounds", and generally, well I know I do, you tend to remember certain games or refer to games by the round number not date.

When you get to that page it will have the date anyhow.

OK, well we can simply rename the pages already done with dates. Renaming is an option somewhere in the scheme of things (Special Pages?)If you cannot find out how to do it then let me know and I will track it down again. Ranga 13:22, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Edit: MOVE the page is what renames it auto-magically. Wheee! I will do a couple to check it works as I vaguely remember it working. Ranga 22:54, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
