We can't expect that every potential wiki contributor goes trough training to 
be able to write articles, but we need consistent style guide. 

1. openSUSE Style Guide
This is important for wiki maintainers, so that they all can act in the same 
way. The article http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Style_Guide was written 
when wiki had few contributors, now it should be rewritten. The guide 
should be modular, ie. main article that will give basic instructions that are 
easy to follow and list topic details for editors on other pages. I would 
base guide on Wikipedia experience as much as possible. 

1-1. Article title length, form and capitalization.
Some examples of very long titles and titles with different style for the same 
purpose can be found on http://en.opensuse.org/Portal/All

1-2. Use of subpages
With single benefit that we have bread crumbs to go back, titles are getting 
out of control. Title became information container about all topics discussed. 
That doesn't help to find a page, one has to provide index anyway.  


2. This also brings another question that was presented before about new 
namespaces like:
 Bugs:  For what it is already used title form "Bugs: ..."
 Applications: For applications reviews. 
 Software:  as alternative to Applications with wider use
 Development: For all development related articles.
 KDE:
 GNOME:
 X:
 HCL:
 Usability:  
 Translation: 
 Education:
