Mod item naming convention
Currently the naming convention are the following:
 * for files.
 * for articles.

Problem
The current problem with this setup is that in some situation that items from different mods act differently, items in crafting grids will point to the article with the exact same name. For example: A grid icon will point to: Tin Gear (TE), but that actual Tin Gear articles is at Tin Gear (Thermal Expansion). An additional redirect must be created in order reach the correct article.

Solution A (AgentTadpole)
Unify the naming and use the file naming convention on articles.



Solution B (Jinbobo)
Unify the naming and use the article naming convention on files.

Titles should be descriptive, if there articles for forestry, buildcraft and thermal expansion and a user searches for the item. All three article will show up in the result, considering these differences aren't significant enough to have disambiguation pages created, if the article title has the full mod name instead of a abbreviation in it, it would be easier to identify and navigate to the article the user is looking for.

Solution C
Use the current conventions and create redirects from to the correct articles.
