Subjects
Background
In moving from a subject page to topic page approach it is useful to remind ourselves how subject pages are currently named. Here is an example for accounting and actuarial science, both subjects from the Victoria Business School. It shows differences between subjects within a faculty, the old subjects use Banner course code and newer list subject in full with hyphen to denote the space between words:

- On the school site: n/a
- On the faculty site: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/law/study/undergraduate/llb
- On Homesite: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/study/programmes-courses/subjects/law
Network engineering in the Faculty of Engineering:
- On the school site: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/ecs/study/subjects/nwen
- On the faculty site: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/engineering/study/subjects/nwen

Proposal
I propose that we follow:
- /study/[topicname] for all topic pages
- /study/[topicname]-area for all megatopics that use the same name as a topic (e.g. the Architecture mega-topic would be /study/architecture-area/ and the Architecture topic would be /study/architecture
Subjects
Background
Proposal
I propose that we follow:
Questions
- Will our repeated topic pages (Information systems and Geography) be identical in all respects (in which case we can use one url for both instances)? Or will there be different content/links/etc
- Do we need urls for the megatopic (i.e. will there be content or a need to address them uniquely)?
- Architecture is the only mega-topic with the same name as a topic page. Should we rename it Architecture and building science (rather than append -area to get a unique ulr)?
