Re: wiki page/namespace names

I've just spotted a new page named 'code_reviews' (the welcome page uses
'Code Reviews' as an internal link to that page, DokuWiki replaces any
spaces with '_').  There is also the 'distro-patches' page.  Perhaps we
should follow some naming convention on namespace/page names?  Moreover,
I suggest to create a namespace dedicated to Wiki editing (best
practices, conventions, etc) where new wiki authors could read some
hints how to create proper consistent with others pages for OSS Security
Wiki.

I'd like to create (and maintain) a subsection of this proposed
namespace where I will describe the current list of installed syntax
(and possibly other) plugins with short usage samples.


So this raises a point I was wondering about the other day.  I think it
could be useful to have a namespace called terms, or definitions, or
something similar, where we could provide some definitions of the various
security related terminology (things like buffer overflow, and double free
mean very little to most people).

The problem I see though, is keeping track of all these terms.  Is there a
way I could create a page called "terms:buffer_overflow", that would then
be magically added to an index at "terms"?

Thanks.
