Summary

Perhaps rename tasks that use -ing verbs ("Boxing the compass" => "Box the compass")Property "Summary" (as page type) with input value "Perhaps rename tasks that use -ing verbs ("Boxing the compass" => "Box the compass")" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.

Discussion

I propose to rename several tasks that use -ing verbs (present participles).

Boxing the compass => Box the compass
Calling an object method => Call an object method
Counting in factors => Count in factors
Counting in octal => Count in octal
DNS querying => DNS query
Function prototyping => Function prototype
GUI enabling/disabling of controls => Enable/disable GUI controls
Loading animated 3D data => Load animated 3D data
Making the application start up from a main routine => Start from a main routine
Parsing command-line arguments => Parse command-line arguments
Terminal control/Cursor positioning => Terminal control/Position the cursor
Terminal control/Hiding the cursor => Terminal control/Hide the cursor
Terminal control/Ringing the terminal bell => Terminal control/Ring the terminal bell
URL decoding => Decode URL
URL encoding => Encode URL
Using a Speech engine to highlight words => Highlight words with a speech engine

These new names would remove inconsistencies (as in Call a function versus Calling an object method) and follow similar changes (Reversing a string => Reverse a string, Sorting Using a Custom Comparator => Sort using a custom comparator). My list omits some tasks where the -ing words are more like nouns (Huffman coding) or adjectives (Playing cards). I will start later when I have time to use the "move" tab. --Kernigh 22:53, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Fronting

Is there a way to keep the Speech engine from "Using a speech engine ..." at the front of the title, as it is more important. --Paddy3118 06:05, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

I feel similarly about URL encoding and URL decoding. CRGreathouse 21:23, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
