Re: the accounting template
Hello ZipCap123!

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Just wanted to drop a quick note regarding your edit here, and in particular what you mentioned in the edit summary. Basically, there's actually no need for Wikipedia links to be the same as the article titles. In fact, many links on Wikipedia are shortened or summarized versions! E.g. if you look at today's featured article, Deepika Padukone, the very first paragraph has the link to Hindi (language), but it is shortened to "Hindi"; and further down there's a link to Konkani people and it is shortened to "Konkani".

I initially changed "Constant Purchasing Power Accounting" to "Constant Purchasing Power" because I thought the latter is a little too long - it's about twice the length of the other entries in the section.

Anyway, I actually have a suggestion. What do you think of us changing it to "Purchasing Power Maintenance"? I'm suggesting that because the entire concept behind CPP is to maintain PP in the accounts, for example see IAS 29. Let me know what you think. :)

 * By the way, it looks like there was recently some disagreement regarding the title of the Constant purchasing power accounting article. It might be an indication that some people felt that the title didn't describe the topic or concept well enough. - Well-rested Talk  04:17, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
