Two small tag merging suggestions

Question

A while ago, the former tags list-of-figures and list-of-tables were merged with table-of-contents (and kept as synomyms). Caramdir's reasoning for this was that "their implementations are pretty similar and questions and solutions applying to one of them typically apply to the others as well".

In the same spirit, I'd like to discuss two potential merging/synonym measures:

• maketitle and titlepage could be combined into a new titling tag. (In this case, I'm not so sure if solutions are overlapping to a great extend.)

• widows and orphans should be combined into widows-orphans. (The TeXniques for controlling widows and orphans are the same, or at least for the most part if you consider tinkering with \Needspace as a separate way to control orphans.)

EDIT: I ask a moderator to implement these merging/synonym suggestions. The new tag names should be titles (as suggested by Aditya) and widows-orphans.

Answer 1

titling

This would be in line with our preferance of concept tags over command tags. maketitle might automatically involve further commands such as \title and \author. Often \maketitle is the cause of a question but a titlepage the solution. So I agree with merging into the concept tag titling.

widows-orphans

Sounds reasonable for me too. widows and orphans are very often treated together, both in books and in questions. For instance, all but one widows questions deal with orphans too.

I agree with keeping the current tags as synonyms, otherwise I would expect them to reappear soon.
