Talk:Intervention (weapon)

Name of article
would it be better if we called the article CheyTac M200 only because the (weapon) bit isn't really a good title.

Intervention is what it's called in-game. Plus, we don't put manufacturer names in article titles unless it's shown in-game. WouldYouKindly 17:34, October 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, since the early days of this wiki policy has always been to call a weapon by its real name rather than its game name. I don't know when consensus to change this was passed but I've never seen anything saying we go with the in game name.-- 18:00, October 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, my bad then. But we still don't put brand names in the article titles unless it's ingame (like the W1200).  I'd be fine with something along the lines of "M200 Intervention" though WouldYouKindly 18:36, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

SVD, AKS-74u, and Winchester Model 1200 (and probably some others I missed) are perfect examples of guns in game that are named differently on the wiki. I too was under the impression that weapon's were supposed to have its actual name versus the one in game. Because originally the first line would say something like, "The Desert Eagle Mark XIX, or as called in-game, the Desert Eagle..." 18:33, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
