 Namaskar, I am planning an article on "Faith". What should be the title [[Faith]] or [[Shraddha]] or something else? --<span style="background:orange;border:orange ridge">[[User:Tito Dutta|Tito]]</span><span style="color:blue;background:white;otit;border-bottom-style:ridge;">☸</span><span style="background:#57C738;border:green ridge">[[User talk:Tito Dutta|Dutta]]</span> 06:38, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
+: Don't know. Faith has many meanings in English. There can be blind faith or informed faith, tentative faith or constant faith. Ultimately in spiritual life, faith is not the goal but rather a starting point. --[[User:Abhidevananda|Abhidevananda]] ([[User talk:Abhidevananda|talk]]) 18:07, 11 January 2019 (GMT)

+: Certainly this makes sense. For my part, with the PS song articles, I follow this rule with the lead. That helps with promoting the article in Web search engines. However, there are a few other {{PAGENAME}} placeholders that I leave as is. That is because of the naming convention used on Sarkarverse for the songs (and their articles). Because I prefer not to add the song number to the article title, we end up with the possibility of many songs subsequently requiring disambiguation. And having the placeholder makes it easier to clean up articles after disambiguation. Once all 5018 songs are up and the likelihood of moving articles for disambiguation purposes is reduced, I can quickly replace all of the pagename placeholder with subst:pagename through a global replace action. (By the way, another problem with adding numbers to the title of the song article would be that those numbers would turn up with every automated reference to a song in the article, which I think would be clunky.) A similar logic would apply to the Ananda Vacanamrtam articles, although it is true that the pagename placeholder in the succession box could be replaced with a subst:pagename once it appears in wiki:main, but that might also introduce issues due to the way these articles are currently getting posted. --[[User:Abhidevananda|Abhidevananda]] ([[User talk:Abhidevananda|talk]]) 18:20, 11 January 2019 (GMT)
