Use of "JavaScript" and articles in titles

[kevinsmithwebdev-zz]

I'm new here, but when I look at the list of JavaScript articles, several of their titles lead with "JavaScript...". This creates a confusing list as it seems to be out of alphabetical order, with entries starting with "j" sprinkled throughout. I would suggest not putting "JavaScript" in the title as it is redundant because we are in the JavaScript folder.

This may have also lead to some accidental duplication, for example there is an entry for "JavaScript for Loop" and "For Loops". Also there is "For in" and "JavaScript Forin Loop".

Additionally, I would suggest avoiding starting titles with articles (a, an, the), as in "The JavaScript Continue Statement" and "The Random Method". I would think that the key word of the article (that being defined) should be the first word in the title to create a more visually comprehensible list.

This is the list of titles as it stands now on the live site:

Thanks for the issue @ksjazzguitar

For this to be rectified correctly:

• rename the containing folder of the article /src/pages/javascript/javascript-ternary-operator -> /src/pages/javascript/ternary-operator
• the title field in the front matter should also be editied

  ---
  title: JavaScript Ternary Operator
  ---

  becomes

this ties in with issues #410 and #414

On the naming of articles the Article Style Guide does list examples that include language:

Here are some title examples:

"HTML Lists"
"CSS Borders"
"JavaScript For Loop"

So I was taking that as appropriate naming for the changes I am making, however, I do agree that it is not helpful.

@Bouncey @systimotic I think this issue can be closed now

[systimotic]

@johnkennedy9147 I still found a few instances when searching through the Javascript directory using this regex: ^title: [^\n]*(JavaScript). I'll leave this open until those are resolved.

[dhanushuUzumaki]

@systimotic Raise a PR for this #704.

[dhanushuUzumaki]

@systimotic @texas2010 Create a new PR #734 .

[palingheorghe]

@systimotic @Bouncey shouldn't we change the README.md file so we wouldn't encounter issues like this one? Right now the README is guiding new contributors to write their titles like all these initial ones we now changed.

[systimotic]

@palingheorghe I agree. I think that should be handled through https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/guides/issues/659. It's still waiting for a few more responses.

[johnkennedy9147]

this has been resolved via multiple PRs so closing issue
