: Once a more thorough discussion on what to rename them ''to'' has been had, I'll give you the privs you need to do it. (I don't think normal users have the move privilege, but I've never been one...) There are over 400 tasks on the site, and I'd like to see what happens when the renaming principles are applied to the entire list; I want to catch edge cases as early as possible. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 04:21, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
== Proposal ==
To show you how I intend my rules to be applied, and to discern for myself how well they work, I've chosen [[Rosetta Code:Village Pump/Task titles/List|a title for every task]]. I've made a lot of exceptions, since I figure it's more important for titles to be short, accurate, and easy to understand than consistent with each other. One issue that particularly bothers me is number: some of my proposed titles are singular and some are plural, and my method to decide which should be which is pretty arbitrary; all I know for sure is that "Array" and "Accumulator factories" are both bad titles. And there are some tasks, like [[Top Rank Per Group]], for which I can't think of any remotely good title. At any rate, for the most part, I think the new titles would be an improvement. —[[User:Underscore|Underscore]] ([[User talk:Underscore|Talk]]) 20:38, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
