@AC That's the point - by giving each file a consistent name, it makes it less of a hassle to add the file to a page because you would know right away what the file would be called based on the standard conventions. That could, in the future, save you and others the trouble of having to search up the file just to get its name.

Sure there are lots of files, but numbers shouldn't stop us from making changes that could potentially benefit the wiki in the long term. We just have to be more careful on what decisions we make before they are carried out, thus why we have this discussion.

If we hadn't gone through with renaming all those pages based on Forum:Capitalisation, it would have been a pain to link them using wikicode and that would lead to some folk getting lazy and capitalising words based on their article titles. We'd still have to double link to this very day if we didn't step up and make the mass change. And think of all the articles the wiki has gained since that thread was made.
