Talk:Battlestars
Was just coming over to this article to suggest moving it, but I see we have a template already. So, yeah. "Battlestars" is more proper. You wouldn't put the Neo-Knights at "Neo-Knight" or the Avengers at "Avenger," because the plural term is the proper team name ("New Warriors" not "New Warrior," "X-Men" not "X-Man," and so on). Same case here. Do we want it to be "Battlestars (group)" or "Battlestars (team)", or would that be unnecessary, since the other page (for the manga) has a "The" in front of it? - Chris McFeely 10:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
If the page is titled for the franchise- then yes, it should be plural. Because that's it's name. You don't make the article about the fast-food chain under 'McDonald'. (to pull a really lousy example out of my ass.) -Derik 10:48, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Derik, the page Chris is talking about is titled for the team, not the franchise, so I'm not sure what your point is. I agree that this page should be Battlestars, not Battlestar. They are a team, not some sort of subgroup like Minicon or Autobot. I think doing either "Battlestars (group)" or "Battlestars (team)" makes the most sense. Presumably, the topic formatting on this wiki is similar to that of Wikipedia, and the Wikipedia listing appears to add the parenthetical to similar titles that aren't completely identical. For example, Avengers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Avengers The Avengers and Avenger bother have a parenthetical after them. --Might Gaine 13:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
In my opinion, "Battlestars" is the title for the team's article, while "The Battlestars" is the title for the manga. It's similar to "Headmaster (technology)" for the technology and "The Headmasters" for the franchise. Just like Chris said, (group) or (team) would be unnecessary, since the other page (for the manga) has a "The" in front of it. ^^
- ps. yeh... I think I need to change the nav-template's name. Thanks for notice. :) --TX55 13:39, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Somebody'd have to delete Battlestars to move this page there. Chris can do this. —Interrobang 17:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
