JA: What I'm actually concerned about here is directory path creep — where a page that I initially titled "Directory:Introduction to Inquiry Driven Systems" becomes "Directory:Jon Awbrey/Papers/Introduction to Inquiry Driven Systems", which is way too distracting at the head of the page to look like a title anymore, forcing me to create an internal title by way of re-orienting the reader. It just seems that there might be a way to handle ownership via semantic tags instead of morphing it onto subdirectory structure? [[User:Jon Awbrey|Jon Awbrey]] 04:14, 21 May 2007 (PDT)

::You're right about directory path creep - we're working on revising the way titles are displayed. In terms of using tags to identify ownership, that already exists from a semantic perspective. However, the real power of the directory space (and all sub-pages contained within any respective listing) is that no one else (except sysops) can edit your pages.
::That is, we back up the "user owned" policy with actual system protections. Try and edit one of OMG's pages - you can't do it unless the last change was by a sysop. (This allow sysops to help edit pages without locking out original owners. However, once OMG makes the last revision, it goes back to the lock.) [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 04:36, 21 May 2007 (PDT)
