Choosing a name
If wiki uses various names
- What if the home link has one name and a different name appears in the welcome message?
- Personally I think we should link to the home link, but it may be a judgement call, SpookyWiki seemed pretty straight forward to me. That text could change anytime, but the FrontPage is always the same, unless there is a code change. MarkDilley
If no name apparent
- What if there is no name?
- AnUnnamedMoinMoinWiki is a problematic name. See also: http://dunck.us/collab/FrontPage
- We could use the url instead. TedErnst | talk 11:44, 30 Jan 2006 (EST)
