Using different names for FA Icons... #4525

Closed FreeApophis closed 8 years ago

FreeApophis commented 8 years ago

This is actually not a bug - but a comment.

Please, do not change the names chosen by Font Awesome without a good reason. I especially have a beef with some of the stranger name choices you arbitrarily changed. I do understand why star half empty is a better name than star-half-o, but these seem not more 'semantic', and are hard to find:

link -> linkify? O'rly? (at least easy to find) language -> translate. (I had to look through all icons to spot this one...)

The main problem: I do not see a pattern, it looks like it was chosen completley at random which icons gota new name. Changing concepts without a good reason is not semantic.

FA is pretty well known - keep it simple.

I disagree with many of their naming choices.

linkify is the one terrible exception because Semantic UI has a link icon variation.

Thanks for listening anyway.
