[pmwiki-users] Utility pages

[Jon Haupt]

For what it's worth:

I actually have groups called "Wiki" in my wikis, because I use my wikis to 
give presentations about wikis, offer information about wikis, etc. - I 
really don't think the generic term "Wiki" makes a good group name. I should 
think this would be a relatively common group name and one to avoid.

"Site" could run into problems if, for example, someone is using a wiki to 
collaboratively develop a Web site (another thing I have been considering 
using my wikis for). Obviously there are other words that could be used for 
that, but it is a pretty obvious group name for a group about a web site. 
Still, this is better than "wiki".

PmWikiAdmin always seemed like a good idea and the length really never 
bothered me before because nobody visited those pages much, but like Patrick 
said you'd suddenly be visiting it a lot if that's where AllRecentChanges or 
SearchWiki was located.

Perhaps Pm feels a little funny having Pm attached to odd words like Util or 
Admin? It's a little strange- sounds like the group is for Patrick utilities 
:)

I think Site is probably the best option given that it is perhaps TOO 
generic (even for the example I gave above) to be much of a useful group 
otherwise.
