It's unclear what the fields "Name" and "Title" refer to — at first glance, they mean the same thing.

As a fix, I'd suggest:

  1. Changing the terminology to make the difference clearer — e.g. "Name" and "Display name"
  2. Adding clarifying information on the "Create community" page. For example, "Name – used as the identifier for the community, cannot be changed" and "Display name — shown as the title on the community's page"

Mmm yeah, display name might be good.

Perhaps change "Name" to "Community Handle"? People understand what handles mean, because of Twitter.

You can’t perform that action at this time.
