(Good point; the "Portability" page and links probably need renaming first though)

:I'm actually glad you mentioned this. I noticed even when I was rewriting it that using the word "portable" here feels more natural than in the development sense of targeting other platforms. I planned on putting a link somewhere prominent and funneling people here through that so a catchy title seemed fine, but if people tend to come to the wiki through searches, "Portable Wine" would be a better name. The main issue is just that the "Portability" page and links should probably be changed first ("Compatibility" makes more sense anyway). I could just make "Portability" a redirect, but it sounds so similar to "Portable Wine" that I'm thinking it may be better to manually change all the links to "Compatibility" too. I've been a bit busy recently and have a couple more pages to rewrite, but I can handle the changes after that. -- [[User:KyleAuble|KyleAuble]] ([[User talk:KyleAuble|talk]]) 23:52, 27 March 2016 (CDT)

::Yes, people do search the wiki; page titles need to be clear. But I had forgotten about the "Portability" page. I agree the two titles are too similar to have both.

IMO, "Wine on the Go" is not something any user would ever think to search for. "Portable Wine" is what users usually ask about, and IMO, that would be a better page title. --RosanneDiMesio (talk) 15:32, 27 March 2016 (CDT)
