<p>A lot of considerations that I see are for changing titles on SOPW questions that are a single word. I usually vote "Edit" on those because single-word titles are harder to search for and aren't very descriptive.</p>
<p>I'm thinking about patching the SOPW edit page to reduce the frequency of these. The simplest thing would be to change the text next to the "Title:" box to say "Title (more than one word, please):". The problem is that the people who ignore other instructions will likely ignore that too.</p>
<p>The next more draconian thing would be to demand that the title contain at least one white space between non-white space characters (in principle, match <code>(\S+\s+\S+)+</code>). The writeup wouldn't be saved until it passed this test.</p>
<p>This would only be for SOPW; it seems to me that other sections like [Obfuscation] and [Perl Poetry] have "good reasons" for one-word titles.</p>
<p>What say you, fellow monks?</p>
