[Home]Boston, Massachusetts/Talk

I was trying to reorganize the page to be a subpage of Massachusetts - I thought this would make for much easier navigation. The problem with using the link format [[Boston, Massachusetts]] is that it would seem to make all these independant pages instead of imposing a logical heirarchy. --DigitalSorceress
Yes, but I don't think that [[Massachusetts/Boston]] is easily linked to from other pages, nor is Boston always best considered in light of its place within Massachusetts (which is what its existence as a subpage seems to imply). I know this must sound like a hypocritical comment from someone who's spent most of his time here adding info on countries of the world; I've recently come to believe that all those subpages are in fact a bad example for others and have every intention of moving them as soon as I decide what the best names are to move them to. But the usefulness of subpages is still fairly widely disputed, and I am interested in hearing further comments. :-) --KQ
One thing you'll note is that the old Boston page had Boston/Transportation on it. That may or may not have been a good idea, but it's impossible with the Massachusetts/Boston page. --DanKeshet
Dan, yeah - I was in the process of repairing all the links that I was breaking that way when the Boston page got renamed to Boston, Massachusetts right under me - KQ has a scheme that he(?)s applying overall, so I sort of stopped and backed off ---DigitalSorceress
You can't just the page Boston - what about Boston in England?
Boston in England? Never heard of it. Yes, it's probably a fairly major town. Maybe even a city. But it's unimportant in comparison, and should be relegated to a 'see also: [Boston, England]?'. Dave McKee
