Here is the SDB article;

USE_11.3_or_SLED_11_SP1

What do you think to rename article to something a bit shorter and
more universal. Now it is a "openSUSE 11.3 or SLED 11 SP1" in a few
months it will be "openSUSE 11.4 or SLED 11 SP2" and so on.

If you use "Installing VMware server or workstation" then you
achieved a lot.

1) No obvious (redundant) openSUSE in a title - it is openSUSE wiki.

2) No version specific encoding in a title gives title and URL
longevity.

In a wiki, and similar in the forums, title is part of the URL.
URL that doesn't change is important on the web, specially if article
is kept up to date with links to older versions. That was one of our
mistakes in old wiki. Encoding version/year/other information in a
title, making it transient from day one, was one of mistakes we did
in the old wiki.

Versions are in a template Knowledge anyway.

Once newer version is available this one can be copied to:
Archive:SDB:Installing VMware server or workstation on openSUSE 11.3
or SLED 11 SP1

This time encoding relevant information in title is necessary, so
that we can have multiple versions stored in archive. Although even
there shorter title is better, for instance:
Archive:SDB:Installing VMware server or workstation on 11.3


Hi
Is it possible to rename, or would I need to create a new article?
