Editing
Creating and editing pearls
Please see form:oyster to create and edit a pearl and its properties.
Singular page name and plural redirect
Often you need both the singular and plural version of a page. For example, if you have user story, you will probably also need user stories at some point in time. Therefore:
- write the original page in singular form; and
- create a redirect to the original page for the plural form.
Special characters
Create a redirect without the special character for page names that use special characters like ‘?’ or ‘!’. For example, anyone else redirects to anyone else? so that the permalink http://pearllanguage.org/anyone_else takes you to anyone else?.
Use a right single quotation mark
Use a right single quotation mark “’” in page names when appropriate. That is, do not use a straight quote “'”. For example, don’t just do something, stand there!.
Categories
You want pretty URLs because URLs are part of the user experience. Therefore
- Create a specific page for key concepts and topics so they are accessible by:
http://pearllanguage.org/topic
- Put a redirection on the topic page:
#REDIRECT [[category:topic]]
