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.
(using Template:Message) 1. Typing on a keyboard is much faster for editors (for me, I sometime use {{langsp}}
instead of {{language subpage}}
), but not only that, most people get used to it, similar to programming, coding, etc..., imagine writtening full trademarked brand name while you are programming a software for example, then it's suddenly breaks when you tries to use it or even trying to compiling it, or it might work with some bugs. When it's come to MediaWiki templates, if somebody tries to use a template then putting something with space on it (example being {{Table tools}}
) which most likely breaks if there's "space" after you putting the page name like {{Table tools|Half-Life games}}, but works fine with "_", example: {{Table tools|Half_life_games}}, plus even the URLs itself also doesn't contain any space on it either, again technical limitations.

(using Template:Message) Any correct solution can be copied and pasted... I find this discussion somewhat pointless at the moment as there aren't many big texts or many games posted here to discuss such fine details...

|type=Mod -> |type=Game on many mod pages
(using Template:Message) Hey man, was just wondering why you changes a lot of pages to use the Game tag when they are labeled as Mods on steam. Mods such as Portal 2: Community Edition are labeled as Mods both on steam and on their official documentation, so I don't quite understand why you changed them... --Equalizer5118 (talk) 18:32, 16 Jul 2023 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) I said about this elsewhere.
