Rename Function Page Titles Using Function Names

I think it would be better to change the titles of all pages that describe 1 function to be renamed as the name of that function plus the "function" word in front of it. This would make this wiki better organized for the reference in the future. It's better for the functions naming syntax be decided first. Example:

For example, the "GetDrives" function should be "EnumSystemDrives function". See the "function" attached to the page name.

Also, this could be applied to pages in other categories in the Wiki like for example:

• Category:Plugins: "System plug-in".
• Category:Graphics and UIs: "Experience UI", "Winamp checkboxes"...

Now I just don't know about the Category:Related Software pages. I think they could be just the program name like HM NIS Edit. -- deguix 15:47, 2 Sep 2005 (PDT)

Just one thing got broken after the backup was applied

Files now are considered as images when linking directly to the file description page:

Additional "might be useful" MediaWiki Extentions

I found 2 extentions which might be useful to add:

Bad Behavior

Protects the wiki from bots used by spammers.

Poll

Allows the creation of polls, making the rating of pages to become possible. It is said that this has chache problems. I think this should be implemented here if there is the correct fix for that. -- deguix 18:01, 2 Sep 2005 (PDT)

Category Links Workaround

This would be a workaround to implement custom positioning of category links and to change the link names for the categories. Example:

This cannot be implemented correctly until the skin is modified, removing the bottom category links automatically put by the wiki. But this would make their implementation manual. Additionally, you would still have to use [[Category:MyCategory]].
