:I think the issue may be a bit deeper than just Team Fortress 2. For example, games such as Doom, Quake, UT and other similar games may be more easily referenced along the lines "E1M1"; but looks unfriendly when shown as such in the TOC. The alternative of typing out a friendly name may make things more difficult when a player is used to searching by map name. This never applied to games that are names Half-Life style for some reason or other, as the map names are not directly accessible to the user. | :I think the issue may be a bit deeper than just Team Fortress 2.

:In either case, this should be clarified or updated in the [[StrategyWiki:Guide/Organization|style guide]] (after [[StrategyWiki Talk:Guide/Organization|discussion]]). If this turns out to be allowed, a short description on <code>prevname=</code> and <code>nextname</code> could help a bit in these custom cases. --[[User:Sigma 7|Sigma 7]] 02:10, 3 April 2009 (UTC) | :In either case, this should be clarified or updated in the [[StrategyWiki:Guide/Organization|style guide]] (after [[StrategyWiki Talk:Guide/Organization|discussion]]).

::I don't see a problem with a map name like "E1M1" since the first letter is capitalized. I think the difference here is that something like ctf_2fort and 2Fort (CTF) are equally as recognizable to a reader. If you wanted to call the E1M1 map something descriptive like Green Canyon (I'm just making something up) no one would have any idea what it was. Likewise, if the map name is "e1m1" I think "E1M1" would be as recognizable. | |||
::In my opinion (since I forgot to actually give one), I'd rather see page names conform to the style of the wiki. The names of the pages should be descriptive insomuch as someone can understand what may be contained in them. We do this already by naming a page, perhaps "The beginning," then having a walkthrough for "Section 1," "Section 2," and "Section 3" instead of naming the page "Section 1, Section 2, Section 3" or "Sections 1 - 3." I don't feel too strongly about it though, and I think adhering to the actual in-game level or map names would be fine too. More people need to weigh in though. - [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 04:15, 3 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
