Linking to wikipedia pages with titles like this = Today I Learned on HN
Yet another reason I like the "don't change the title; the title is not for editorializing" policy on HN.
- Kell 13y agoSo what are you proposing in this case, that the original poster had kept the Wikipedia title? Or that the linked Wikipedia article shouldn't have been posted at all ? Because hn's anti editorialization policy is useless in both cases. For, in the first case, without editorialization, the title is completely useless except for experts on the subject. And for the second case, it has nothing to do with title editorialization, but with content.
- dfc 13y agoThe policy is: "Do not change the title." What is it that you are having trouble understanding?
