Hi,
We already had confusions between page name and page titles, and the new
Create Page UI, generates the page name from the page title, and promotes
title. So identifiers will be used by advanced users that will want to
change the it.
We are using in Create Wiki UI, the concept 'identifier', but I guess in
this use case, the uniqueness is true.
I don't have other ideas on how to better name it.
I'm +1 for 'identifier'.
To better understand what we are talking about, here is a screenshot

Thanks,
Caty

Hi,
With the latest changes to the create UI [1] we`ve changed (mostly
following the agreed-ish proposal [2]) the old "Page Name" label in the
create UI to "Identifier" because we believed that having both "Page
Title"
and "Page Name" on the same page would confuse users and they would not
know which one to use.
Now, I`d like your quick vote on which one to stick with, since some might
consider that "Page Name" is better.
One argument for page name (i.e. against "identifier") is that an
"identifier" is usually globally unique and in our case this is only true
within the same parent. Also, copying a document to a new location and
preserving its "identifier" can feel a bit odd to some, since they would
expect the need for a new "identifier". Feel free to express your other
arguments.
Another argument for identifier besides the one already mentioned is that
it also better reflects its "technical" nature and should
"discourage"
users from working with it and they should be using the document's title
instead of their needs (both in the create step and further along).
Here's my +1 for "identifier".
WDYT?
Thanks,
Eduard
