-Problem: (Uniqueness of pages)
-Users in the MA375 are posting new pages such as "6" -- referring to Problem 6 on their homework.
-One can imagine this will cause problems when another problem 6 comes up in some other class.
-(It will probably come up even in the same class, same year.)
-Solution:
-One suggestion is to make it as easy to comply with this is adding a button on the editting page that does simple text parsing with the content being editted. The motivation here is it's easy for a computer to add long descriptions like "XYZ123 Smith Spring 2009", but would be a pain for a user to add into every link. Pressing a button to add that text after the link name in every link would work out.
-For example [[Problem 6]] would become [[Problem 6 (XYZ123 Smith Spring 2009)]]. The parser could follow the simple rule, when you see <nowiki>[[</nowiki>, add the name of the first category in the page between parentheses right before <nowiki>]]</nowiki>.
-Documentation: (a note to users regarding this issue)
-'''Note:''' A page's name needs to be unique to all sections of all classes.
-The best way to make a page which is specific to your class (like to discuss homework) have a unique name is to add the class name/professor/semester in parentheses at the end.
-If the page relates to all classes (for example, a definition of [[Matrix]]) then its name doesn't need class/professor/semester
