Bulbapedia talk:Project Games: Difference between revisions

For example, the article about the Generation V sequels is titled "Pokémon Black and White Versions 2" instead of simply "Pokémon Black 2 and White 2". An editor that uses templates to directly link to the article as well as alternative text to not include the "Version" moniker has to type in <nowiki>{{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}</nowiki> as opposed to <nowiki>{{g|Black 2 and White 2}}</nowiki>, <nowiki>{{pkmn|Black 2 and White 2}}</nowiki>, or the standard Wikilink-style <nowiki>[[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]</nowiki>. This shouldn't have to be like this.</ab> [[User:SatoMew2|<b><span style="color:blue">Sato</span></b>]][[User talk:SatoMew2|<b><span style="color:pink">Mew</span></b>]] 16:00, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

:The official titles of the core series games prior to Pokémon X and Y (Yellow is a special case I'm not going to discuss here) all include "Version" in their official titles. While there are informal situations where it is dropped (even in official circumstances), the correct titles always include "Version". It may be more convenient for that not to be the case, but it unfortunately is. We should not rename articles to less proper titles simply for linking convenience. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 16:08, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
