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, key concepts and topics that have their own page must be accessible by http://pearllanguage.org/topic.
