Flamingo_Workbench page to be renamed?

Post by david69 »

Flamingo_Workbench has been by Dodo Workbench.

Is it possible to rename that page by Dodo_Workbench? It would be more logical, no?

Flamingo will be deprecated
Flamingo Workbench (Python2/Qt4) has been superseded by the Dodo Workbench (Python3/Qt5). This wiki page will highlight the differences between these two workbenches.
-from the wiki page

Flamingo has also been re-written. So it's technically Dodo moving forward. Although, I would prefer not using Dodo but instead a technical name since it's more descriptive and lets people know what the workbench does

When I first hear of this (then Flamingo) workbench I thought similar, "what kind of workbench should this be to build flamingos?". But thinking about it, it now seems to be a more intuitive name than for example "Fancy bends workbench".

If the Dodo WB adds a package.xml metadata file with a short description of what the WB does, this will display in the Addon Manager in 0.20, and the exact name won't matter so much. It's searchable, too.

Any name is better than Flamingo/Dodo. I have never tried this WB due to its silly name...

Oh boy, best argument ever! I'm glad I could choose a nickname here, otherwise you may never have read my posts.

Who are you? You have posted some stuff before? And next you are going to tell me you have answered several of my quetions earlier... :lol:

Meanwhile I had a look at the wiki pages and can say that I have no use for this WB (yet).
The wiki pages could be a bit more inviting. I now have the impression that there is a quite usefull WB hidden behind a boring wiki page.
