I propose we move subpages with long parent names to increase their title readability:

Parent pages link to subpages in Related articles, and subpages to their parents in the intro anyway. --Larivact (talk) 18:19, 20 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

-== Long article names and subpages ==
+== Move subpages with long parent names ==
-While I agree that article names should be descriptive, long article names harm the readability of subpage names.
+I propose we move subpages with long parent names to increase their title readability:
-:[[Advanced Linux Sound Architecture/Example Configurations]] vs. [[ALSA/Example Configurations]]
+:[[Advanced Linux Sound Architecture/Example Configurations]] → [[ALSA example configurations]]
-:[[Unified Extensible Firmware Interface/Hardware]] vs. [[UEFI/Hardware]]
+:[[Unified Extensible Firmware Interface/Hardware]] → [[UEFI hardware]]
-:[[Apache HTTP Server/mod fcgid]] vs. [[Apache/mod fcgid]]
-I therefore propose that we rename the respective articles to [[ALSA]], [[UEFI]] and [[Apache]].
+Parent pages link to subpages in Related articles, and subpages to their parents in the intro anyway.

-The long names would redirect to the short names. While naming [[Apache HTTP Server]] "Apache" is a bit misleading the latter currently redirects to the former anyway.
