Talk:How Stitching Works

Pages with almost identical content

Thanks Klaus, for the rework of the "State of the art" page. However, I don't like the idea of having two pages with almost identical content.

All recent versions of a page are kept in the wiki database, hence there is no reason to keep two versions of the same page beside each other. You always can link to any older version by an oldid: http://wiki.panotools.org/Stitching_2008_State_of_the_Art&oldid=10281

On Talk:Stitching_2008_State_of_the_Art#Overall picture you mentioned that the pages should serve different purposes. However, I consider it better to have all text in one page, perhaps with a paragraph on what special steps are not available if one uses only photoshop or something like that.

Just a note: Wiki page titles are case insensitive only for the first letter. So if the title is "How stitching works" is can be linked easier directly in the wiki text, since you don't need to create a link like [[How Stitching Works|how stitching works]]

So I vote for one page named "How stitching works" with all the content from both of the other pages. (I must admit, that i was about to it already, whe I noticed your talk page additions - I reverted the changes again). There can be redirects in order not to break links to "Stitching 2008 State of the Art" and "How Stitching Works"...

As for your note that there is no page called "Stitching": I'll create a short page in the glossary category...
