Theres been a bit of discussion around of this recently with WLUG:GNOMENotes vs WLUG:GnomeNotes, or ''Book''Review vs !!BookReview''Book''. Traditionally we seem to have use ''foo''Notes, preserving case on Acronyms, and using [[] where appropriate.
One suggestion has to make the wiki case preserving. If you goto !GnomeNotes and the page !GNOMENotes exists, redirect you there automagically. This could be done when we upgrade to the next version of the wiki.
-;PerryLorier:I prefer ''foo''Review, as it reads better and sounds like a noun, where !BookReviewFoo sounds like a verb (to me anyway, everyone should know that my command of english is tenious
at best).

;:The case preserving idea sounds good, it will break some pages ([Free] vs [free]) but I think that we can deal with that. We can organise this when we (Finally) get around to upgrading to the new version of phpwiki
;StuartYeates: i don't really care, so long as there exist [WikiGnome]s to homogenise the page names it doesn't really matter what set of rules they use.
;PerryLorier: Yes, but the [WikiGnome]s have to agree.
;CraigBox: Lapsed gnome ([GNOME]?) disagrees. I think that having !BookOfFooReview is extraneous if there is no !BookOfFoo page. I like having stems (!BookReviewBookOfFoo). I don't mind Foo and !FooNotes but given the chance to do everything again I'd want everything to be as Wiki:CamelCase (StudlyCaps) as possible.

+;DanielLawson: Regarding book reviews: We don't have to have them in the wiki at all. They are an exception to our standard system, as Craig points out - there is no !BookOfFoo page. But, I don't think there is a better place to put them, and I don't think we should work on putting more software in place when the wiki does the job. I think we should still adopt a standard, consistent nomenclature (and have it documented somewhere so people can learn what it is), HOWEVER I don't think we should pick one that requires a huge amount of effort to change to - unless someone wants to dedicate however many hours it'll take to fixing it (ie, saying 'all pages should be !PrefixName, eg !NotesOnFoo, or !BookReviewFoo', is going to take a fair amount of work). The most important thing is to be consistent, and IMO we should be consistent with what we have already.
