I totally agree. When I write in English, I do this kind of mistakes 
(I'm not native...) Sorry.

Yes, but I suggest creating a way to link them without specifying their 
real name directly...
Otherway, some crossed links which I have already created will be broken 
as soon as we change the name of the page...
(see LA_SoundFonts for example)

Yes. I also find you should explain how to create a new page fast. It's 
easy but if you write it down (or put some links to do it), it will save 
some time to contributors.
