[WikiEN-l] Slogan policy (was: DTK article)

I like Axelboldt's idea of avoiding double quotes, and I guess there's no need for the colon if there are single quotes, so I'll change the article titles as suggested. 

Sorry to Cunctator if he'd like the word "slogan" at the end of the title, but I think it would be less of a shock to Google surfers to put the "slogan" tag at the front. This will be especially useful for long, multi-word slogans such as:

[[Slogan 'The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer']]

...which refers to an economic principle espoused by many Marxists (and vigorously disputed by most free-market advocates).

The colon may confuse readers (and the software?) into treating 
"Slogan" as a name space. Also I think quotes would be in order. Since
double quotes are not available at this point, I'd prefer 
[[Slogan 'Power to the people']].
