Re: [xwiki-users] display page title and name(url) while creating a page

Hi all.. Thanks for taking the issue this much seriously. Hi Vincent.. Hey, you are welcome again.. I would expect you to drop me an email while visiting Pune next time :) Hi Caty.. You are definitely correct about SEO as simple users don't even know what SEO is. But I am very sure that even simple users do care about URLs. For instance, we share all our educational articles on our wiki in chats, like in WhatsApp, Facebook, Gmail, and what not. And they often ask me to clean the encoded URLs for them. In last 15 days for instance, I had to rename about 250 pages.. And I guess this is what Vincent felt but couldn't prove. Yes I agree. It should be custom because not all will want such trimming of URLs. longish from what I see I think we can't and shouldn't force anyone to have short URLs. Long URL doesn't seem a problem for us, but inability to shorten them in the first place indeed is. I disagree with having any shortening algorithm as even we do use full names in URLs at certain places. e.g. /Pune-University My Proposal: I strongly agree with Vincent about Create Page UI like AWM. This is what we think will be most user friendly. (Sorry, couldn't upload images but rough layout) *Title: (Tip: Title as shown on Page/Document) [Title Textbox] URL: (Tip: this is a webaddress) [Non editable initial part of URL][Textbox for last part of URL] Location: (Tip: location of page in wiki) [Documents tree/Parent]* In above layout, we could use algorithm at URL section just to make them more readable (removing ecoded characters), nothing else. And it would be nice to have this universally editable, no need of any options like ALWAYS, NEVER, etc. Also no need to restrict it to just advanced users, because mostly users who could create a page would know about URLs. Very much thanks for this wonderful discussion.
