[vtk-developers] Slider Widget enhancement for integral values

[Moreland, Kenneth]

I don't think those names are a good idea.  The colon is used for namespaces by the Wiki, and namespaces have special meaning.  They are used for special pages like images and discussion pages.  Putting a regular page in a namespace can have unintended consequences (many of which I don't know).  For one thing, the search feature will no longer pull up those pages.

David,

The example pages should probably be name:
VTK:Examples:examplename

Slider would be:
VTK:Examples:Slider

Let's see if we get more feedback before we change them.
