*'''[[OpenWetWare:Software/Site analytics]]'''
**This would provide more information for making decisions about site organization.  Could be a feature we provide to labs, as well as something we use ourselves to help for re-organizing pages (e.g., the main page).  It also may raise privacy concerns, or be an unnecessary technical addition to the site back-end.  Discussion needed to resolve this.
*'''[[OpenWetWare:Information management/Article naming conventions]]'''
**The current plan is to include a section better explaining namesapces in the OWW getting started pages (currently it is in the Etiquette section)
**[[Tom Knight|Tom]] also suggested that the issue could be technically solved by making page moving easier (specifically, getting links on OWW to be remapped to the new page)
