If I am listing child items of a parent in an asp.net mvc app, is there a best practice to how the url structure should be formed?

Using the default route provided, I'm forced to name my parameters "id". That's fine for a lot of my Controller Actions, but I want to use some better variable naming in certain places.

Hey folks, I have a simple thing going here: two divs and two calls to load partials (controller actions with PartialView as results). I am dealing with two controller actions: Index and ItemDetail.
