<p>Changing things simply because you want to? You reasons are only anecdotal. I think you need more justification than that to get something changed. Maybe if you'd surveyed a few thousand people you might be able to justify your opinion on a usability basis.</p>

<br>Because of the very common expression "Web page" clients can get confused by the "Page" content-type. <br><br>I actually think the term "web page" is very useful in communicating with clients. To me that expression "web page" = unique URL. But as a content-type, multiple "Pages" can be listed on one "Web page" using Views, built in taxonomy views, etc. And, of course, other content-types show up on "web pages" --- so it's a semantic mess. <br>
<br>I do like Drupal's out-of-the-box suggested distinction of a "Page" being a listing of more permanent, non time-bound info, whereas a story is more newsy and gets old (hence the default settings of having the byline and pub date turned on in a story and off for a "Page"). <br>
<br>So the question is, <b>what to rename the "Page" content-type?</b><br><br>This is my list so far... I don't like any of them:<br><ol><li>Article</li><li>Generic Content</li><li>Static Content</li><li>Informative Content</li>
<li>Information</li></ol>What do you guys use? Do you just keep "Page." Have you noticed that "Page" is confusing for clients?<br><br>p.s. I haven't been following D7 progress closely... does anyone know if anyone else has pointed out this problem and suggested a different name for "Page"?<br>
