#But, on Willipedia, titles are the names that articles are called by. Titles need to be succinctly named, or they will never be called by editors, will never be linked to, and will fall into obscurity.
'''For an example,''' consider the old article, "How To Procrastinate." This was the first title it had, and it did a good job of creating the expectation of a list of suggestions, which is indeed what the article was. But only editors who already knew such an article existed could link to it. Naive ; naive editors were unlikely to guess such a titlethe unintuitive name. Eventually, it was renamed to [[Procrastinating]], a name with the advantage of still being decently descriptive, and far more likely to be linked to in the course of normal writing.
The short set of naming conventions below arises from this need for a minimal set of conventions rules for editors to learn so we know how to best name our new articles, and how to link to where an article is ''or will be'' as we write body text.
