Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

What should the "webmasters" site name and url be?

+4
−0

When SE's webmasters community was just starting out, they had a Meta discussion about what the site name should be. Although they settled on "webmasters", some of the arguments given at the time may no longer apply today.

For example, Bing still uses the term webmaster tools, but Google appears to have moved away from using the term.

If anyone has any alternative name suggestions, it might be easier to discuss possible names now, at proposal stage, rather than after the URL has been chosen.

  1. Website Management

  2. Q&A about all the stages of hands-on website management.

  3. Questions and answers about the whole website lifecycle, from conception, development, launching, operating, maintenance and responsible retirement, for anyone getting their hands on these tasks willing to do their best to learn and share with the world their learnings.

  4. webmanagement


I think that "name" proposals should include

  1. Name
  2. Blurb (short description)
  3. Description (a bit longer description)
  4. Subdomain

That subdomain is too long (2 comments)
Are Blurb and description really needed? (3 comments)
That subdomain is too long

Your proposed subdomain seems especially long to me. I never want to have to type that. "Website Management" is also a bit longer than I would like, but manageable. I'd like this proposal a lot more with a shorter subdomain.

I agree that the webmanagement is longer than other proposals. What about admin based on the default username used by several systems?
