Forum:Weapon Page Names

Hi. To the best of my knowledge, nobody made a War Room discussion about this before, so here goes.

A lot of confusion (most of it is probably mine) has been attributed, lately, to the names for pages on certain weapons. There's no defining passage in the policy that says what to name weapons pages, and a lot of people belong to numerous sides saying what they should be named. As a wiki, we decide what standards to have on something as a community, and I think we need everyone to tell us what our standard for this should be.

Feel free to make another group if you have one, but here's what I think are the basic schools of thought on what the page names should be. Please decide which group you want to belong to, because I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one that sees this as an important issue that has gone unsolved for too long.

The In-Game Name camp - People who think the pages should just be named after what the weapons are called in-game.

The Real-Life camp - People who think the pages should be named after the real-life counterparts of the weapons.

The Mix-'n-Match camp - People who think that the guns should be named either after the in-game or real life models, but with another identifier to the title (e.g. "M1 Garand rifle" or "M3 submachine gun")

Those are what I believe to be the main "parties", if you will, of what the page names should be. Please, give me your input on this matter. 04:13, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
