I've so far been changing them into "Y of X" except for "X/communications" and "X/Military":
* History of Afghanistan
* Geography of Afghanistan
* People of Afghanistan
* Government of Afghanistan
* Economy of Afghanistan
* Communications in Afghanistan
* Transportation in Afghanistan
* Military of Afghanistan
* Foreign relations of Afghanistan
I don't know if that's the best way to go about it. I'm open to suggestions. I've only changed over I think four so far, so it can easily be undone.
Many of the earlier pages have X/Foreign relations and X/Transnational issues as two separate subpages; I've been moving them onto the same main page "Foreign relations of X." And some of the pages have additional subpages people have added, for instance X/Archaeology, so if there could be some kind of note of additional subpages, I'd be happy to go in and change those ones manually. Again, I don't know how hard that is to program.
If there's anything I can do to make the conversion easier, let me know. So far as which conversion is easier, I don't know.
thanks again,
kq
