Title vs. text

usage in article titles and article text sometimes differs. In some cases this might make linking more difficult.

  • "X (english)" vs. "X english"
    • if "X english" is allowed in text, why not use it for title? (if you would not like this solution, please try to put it in words and write it here)
      • pro: 1) editor friendly, you wikify what is written. otherwise only because of the brackets one has more work 2) voice friendly, you can easier tell the article name to someone on the phone
  • "english of X" vs. "X english"
  • "english of X" vs. "X English"
