Naming of fields

[eydun]

I am still a PW-newbie, and have just started diving into setting up templates and fields. 

How do you typically name your fields? For example, do you use the template-name as prefix to the field-name?

Do you re-use many of the same fields across templates? Or do you create one field per template?

I ask these question, because I wonder if it does not get complicated when you build a site when many templates and many fields.

Hi eydun,

I try to reuse fields if they have the same use-case. No template-prefixes.
When your site gets more complex, you can use tags for your fields to get a better structure in your fields-overview.

I've used template prefix syntax for my fields in one project and it is really annoying now ?
