Hi,
I had a similar remark from users. This is disturbing for them to read on
the main page of the wiki in a wiki that is not in english "Main" and
"WebHome". I am talking about the "Add" area. I think we should
introduce
the notion of space title that would be used for display instead of space
name. We could use title property of WebHome page of a space. This way,
users could change it easily.

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

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
How do you all think about this?
