I just renamed several of this article's sections:
'Iconography–the "poor people's book"' is now 'Iconography'
'Stained glass – rose windows' is now 'Stained glass'
There are several reasons why I made these changes:
All of the content in "Stained glass" is about stained glass, but only some of it is about rose windows. To me, "Stained glass – rose windows" reads as "Stained glass, that is to say, rose windows", implying that, in the context of Notre-Dame de Paris, all stained glass is rose windows. This is not accurate.
It deviates from what seems to be the convention elsewhere on Wikipedia - while it's possible they exist elsewhere, I cannot remember ever coming across a section in another article with multi-part section headings like these.
It looks messy. Whoever set up these section headers didn't even format them the same—notice the extra spaces around the dash in "Stained glass – rose windows".
The new section headings are simpler and more concise, and still accurately describe the content of the sections they label
level-4 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
