Here is the advantage. Does CenterWindow page describe an fvwm command
(there were thoughts to add it), your new shell script, your config
snippet or some application? This can't be guessed from the name, so
such page name seems to be bad. Tips/CenterWindow name is intuitive.
Use ["Tips/CenterWindow"] syntax in your other pages to refer to it.

Think also about pages like Instalation/GNOME (compile time headers),
Integration/GNOME (run time), Scripts/GNOMEMenus (with user script
creating such menus attached), Tips/GNOMEMenus (using FvwmGtk or other
distributed modules or scripts). Any such name conflicts should be
reduced from the start.

I don't think this mailing list is good for discussing every small detail
of Wiki, Probably using irc or Wiki itself to leave your ideas, comments,
or questions is more appropriate.

Mikhael.
