Talk:Y

Article Title Appropriateness

Should we really make an article called Y, or the like? I mean, it's kinda like making an article for The or So. At the very least, I think these should turn into Y (Slash Command) or the like, since that will happen to work for these --GuyPerfect 16:43, 6 August 2007 (EDT)

Like my edit notes say, I was so naive back then. These articles are from when a bunch of abbreviations (LOL, RA, BRB, G2G, DM) were being added, and we didn't have the slash command article standard. The {{SlashCommandArticle}} template covers the aliases that this and the other single letter articles were created for. I'd keep them like they are for humorous nostalgia. I would not be offended if they were removed for inappropriatenesses sake. --Konoko 18:24, 6 August 2007 (EDT)

Generally speaking, anything like "Foo (Bar)" should probably either have a redirect from "Foo" to "Foo (Bar)", a disambig from "Foo" to "Foo (Bar)" and several other pages, or an unrelated article at "Foo" that refers to "Foo (Bar)" with {{otheruses4}}. Otherwise, it becomes a lot harder to find "Foo (Bar)". (And the primary point behind the parenthetical is for disambig purposes, generally. Otherwise you'd just call it "Foo".) That in mind, I agree that these articles should probably be renamed to "Y (Slash Command)". However, "Y" should remain as either a disambig or a redirect. Unlike "The" and "So", "Y" has a specific in-game meaning, and it's one that someone might wonder about or search for. That's my extended 2 cents, anyway. -- Sekoia 18:32, 6 August 2007 (EDT)
