Alternate Name For Page

Can we possibly make this page two different pages? I'm thinking that it might be more useful to have an associated page called Works by Women eligible for 2009 SF Awards. Mainly because there are more categories where a work is up for consideration, not the author herself. Women eligible for awards can focus on those awards that nominate the author or artist individually. The Campbell not-a-Hugo, for instance, or Fan Writer, Best Artist.

Or perhaps we can keep all of this information on the same page but change the title reflect that it's a list of works and individuals eligible. --Tempest 20:44, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for making this page! I was thinking about it, but I've always thought the title was unwieldy, so I was holding back to see if something better appeared. Alas, I think Works by Women eligible for 2009 SF Awards is also too long.
When I was nominating for the Hugos this year, it was enormously helpful to have everything on the same page, so I could scroll down looking at titles names etc while opening other tabs to search out specifics. There were tabs everywhere; huge mess; would have been even tougher with two pages for the list. So I enormously favor having only one page for everything.
How about Women and works of 2008? The "SF" part is a given from this being on the FemSF wiki, and the "awards" part is a bit misleading since some of these works we wouldn't recommend for an award.--Madeline F 03:40, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
I like Women and works of 2008 because it is short and gets the point across. The page intro will explain about being awards-eligible. Anyway, I vote shortness over precision, though Laura might disagree. I also like it being one big long page preferring to scroll & search, rather than click & switch; it's easier on the hands. - --Liz Henry 16:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
