Thread:Help talk:$smwgPageSpecialProperties/Renaming special property/reply (5)

I think a general recommendation on how to name properties will be of great help here. Property naming tends to be a total mess. From experience I would probably never create a custom property just named "Creation date" as you yourself would not in the meantime since it is destined to conflict not only with special properties but other possible custom use cases on a wiki. I myself did occasionally fall flat on my face, too. However starters do not have this experience an you cannot blame them at all, so that's the issue I believe.
