Subjects and topics
Background
In moving from a subject page to topic page approach it is useful to remind ourselves how subject pages are currently named. I had expected a high level of consistency, both within and between faculties, even if we planned to change things moving forward. What I fould was anything but consistent, which is why I have documented so many examples.
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:
...
I propose that we follow:
- For topic pages: /study/[topicname] for all topic pages An example would be /study/architecture
- Where the megatopics and topic have same name: /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
- For topic pages written for an international audience: /int/study/[topicname]
