Re^5: I want site documentation updates and I want them now.

Convenience is never necessary. It is, however, convenient.

Editor macros are great tools for convenience.

[a] user just writes up some meditations ... that link to the respective actual documents. ... then all the old links start making sense again

So, the continuation of this debate is just a part of the "single-word title" flamefest, raging in another thread somewhere.

We're building the house of the future together.

So, the continuation of this debate is just a part of the "single-word title" flamefest, raging in another thread somewhere. In the light of single word titles being banned, I see a GREAT opportunity for linking all single word links to documentation! After all, if there are no single word titles on Perl Monks anymore, it's a piece of cake, even in the most chaotic code, to do this in the engine. It doesn't even need a lot of manually added nodes then. I didn't know about this thread. It may indeed be a good idea to ban single worded titles to eliminate the simplest forms of automated spam. (At the very least it'll force spammers to be smarter about random title generation.) Especially if that can be used to make linking to documentation easier. In light of this new information, I reconsidered the titles for the nodes "perlcheat" and "perlpodtut", and suggest that they be "How about $&?" instead.
