Article Titles are a Promise . . .: added link to naming conv
* '''More general titles should name more general content.''' Thus [[Students with Skills]] is a page that covers general skills, as well as pointing to categories of skills, such as [[Students with Automotive Skills|automotive]] and [[Students with Body Skills|body]]. [[Pranks]] is and should always be an article about many pranks, not just one recent event.
* '''A title is the main idea of an article.''' Thus, an article simply titled [[Amherst]] should not go directly into a story about our rivalry, though it is likely to have a prominent section on it. If the rivalry topic became big enough, it could even become its own article, [[Rivalry with Amherst]].
*'''Willipedia has conventions for titling articles.''' Because it is so important to have a common system for choosing intuitive titles, Willipedia titles try to conform to [[Project:Naming conventions|a set of rules]].
=== Content of Enduring Interest ===
# '''Moving less pertinent content''' either lower on a page, into a subsection, or into another (perhaps new) page. This is very frequently needed, as people often start a page on, say, [[Mills]] out of the desire to write about their own suite. Such information may belong in the article, and should not be deleted, but it does not belong at the top.
# '''Deleting useless or offending content.''' This will come naturally and is often the best course, but remember to always look for the above alternatives first.
# '''Choosing a new title for an article.''' This is a major upset when it happens to a large article, but a great thing when it happens early. To do this, use the "Move this page" link at the bottom of the page. Before you do this, skim the first part of the check out our [http[Project://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions Wikipedia Naming conventions|naming conventions]].
