: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/ | :In either case, this should be clarified or updated in the [[StrategyWiki:Guide/Organizing the pages|style guide]] (after [[StrategyWiki Talk:Guide/Organizing the pages|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) | ||
::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. | ::I don't see a problem with a map name like "E1M1" since the first letter is capitalized.
