Article name

Would CZ:Math and Chemistry Symbols be a better-named home? Stephen Ewen 09:44, 12 March 2008 (CDT)

Well, depends on if you're going to expand it to talk about how to achieve other visual effects (e.g like tables, etc), or not. If so, maybe something a little more generic, like <brain refuses to be clever and emit a snappy nam, but I think you get where I'm going>. If not, your suggested new title is fine. J. Noel Chiappa 09:48, 12 March 2008 (CDT)
Ideally, I would have thought that it should be like CZ:How to/Math, or CZ:How to/Tables, or CZ:How to/Chemistry, and then on the main CZ:How to page, an index. --Robert W King 09:57, 12 March 2008 (CDT)
I intend to fill the page with lots of things, like tables, how to scale images, etc. So, a general page. It will also have links to "How to Start an article" and other pages. David E. Volk 10:07, 12 March 2008 (CDT)
Okay, cool. I think Robert's idea is interesting.... Stephen Ewen 10:12, 12 March 2008 (CDT)

Hey, this might inspire a neat format for this...after it gets written, anyway. Stephen Ewen 15:21, 12 March 2008 (CDT)

That's all fine and good, but I don't think there are enough icons, or in fact -the- icons necessary. --Robert W King 15:26, 12 March 2008 (CDT)


To many pages already

As I see it, one of the complaints people have is that things are explained in too many places, meaning that finding them is a real $%*&#@. I am thinking that one link on the left of everypage saying "How to ..". The how to page will have directions or links to everything. Like how to start an article, how to apply on CZ, how to import an image, how to make an equation. Drats, my ride to pick up my car at the dealership is here. More thoughts later. out David E.
