I just had a user renaming a page called 'Webhome' to something she thought was more appropriate. I understood her reasoning for the name 'intro' but had a hard time explaning why there should be "WebHome" at the end of the URL, especially since it isn't an English wiki. Even when users understand the first page has a fixed name, they are more accustomed to 'index' (.html, .php). Of course, when reaching a space, the name WebHome isn't shown, backlinks (e.g. breadcrumbs) do refer to Example/WebHome instead of Example/ The biggest improvement imho would be: hide the trailing 'WebHome' when viewing a WebHome. When editing this page, it can of course be shown.
'WebHome' appears just in the Wiki/Space/Page separation and this cannot be removed since it contains page functions http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/ActionMenuPropo... and also reflect the physical URL construction. About renaming: the WebHome is indeed a convention. I was thinking about other names for it. If we would had named it 'Index' or simple 'Home' and appeared like xwiki >> Main >> Home or xwiki >> ColorThemes >> Home it would have been confusing also because usually we have only one main home and only that should be name 'Home', not every homepage for every space. Having put let's say 'Home' and 'SpaceHome' would be an improvement, but will be very close to the current behavior: still a convention, still in english, still unchangeable. The breadcrumb does not display the page name, but the page title. So as long as the page has a title there shouldn't be a problem. Thanks, Caty
