Redirects are cheap
(using Template:Message) Don't move pages just because they're "easier to link"; that is what redirects are for. It is preferable for a page name to be what is actually displayed to the end user, as this avoids confusion and inconsistency. --SirYodaJedi (talk) 2:19, 15 Jun 2023 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) 1. I don't remove redirects during moves. So this doesn't make sense.
2. They trim names aggressively 2 and even introduce wrong names 3 which I don't agree with.
3. English Wikipedia and others refer to it as Apex Legends and not as Apex.
(using Template:Message)
- Moving still can create double redirects, which does break stuff.
- Really, the Template:Windows7 should be Template:Win7.
- Template names are supposed to be short, so that they are easier to type; this is why it's Template:Hl and not Template:Half-Life. We don't need a Template:Apex Legends that is different from Template:Apex. This is the same reason why template names are (usually) lowercase.
(using Template:Message) What do you mean?
(using Template:Message) And it is still presented as "Windows 7", not "Win7". What the source is is irrelevant to legalese mumbo jumbo, which doesn't really apply here. Win is a commonly accepted abbreviation, as are Win10, Win32, Win3.1, etc.
Also, those are "guidelines", not "rules you must follow to avoid getting sued by us". Trademarks are only applicable when money is involved (or is supposed to be involved).
(using Template:Message) 1. They failed to expain how removing a word Legends is faster than adding brackets around Apex Legends so far.
2. They changed their vague statement 180 degrees in just 2 days.
