→The use of "The"
== The use of "The" ==
If you look at the [[:Category:Lore]] page, a lot of articles have the "The" Prefix to them, being taken directly from the game manual by MedievalDragon, but I was thinking how to do with this in general. Most wikis don't have the "The" in it, but in some cases it seems more natural than not. I am leaning toward removing the "The" from these articles and new ones. Any opinions on this? There is also a discussion I started on the [[Lore]] discussion page. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 11:51, 24 October 2008 (CEST)
:Well I checked "The" Lore Category page (:p) and I think that having the word "The" is necessary. I satarted started to say some of the names without the and it doesn't "feel" right...it's like saying "The" away from "The Last Supper". It looses it's loses its "power" (don't know how to describe that feeling of understanding, knowledge). Adding the word "The" adds importance to the event, making it impact the "feeling" we get from reading the stub. I hope I made some sense with this, but my advice would be to keep "The" prefix.--[[User:Shayagor|Shayagor]] 22:54, 27 October 2008 (CET)
:: Ok, thanks for the input. That's a bit of what I felt. The problem is when adding this event into a sentence, where you might not really want to capitalize "The" for the link. The [[Sin War]] is a good example. The other thing is that it's harder to sort these events in the categories. If some have "The" and some don't, a lot of the parts will end up under "T" in the sorting. I suppose there can be exceptions to the rule here, but that isn't optimal. Also, where do we draw the line? any more input on it? =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:45, 30 October 2008 (CET)
::::::Coolio. Feel free to upate on your user pages. I'll try to keep an eye out and comment on it. BTW, make sure you link all of your pages on four front page, or you'll forget the url, like I do =P For now, I think the only thing we can do with "The" is to fix the lore section to the extent it's possible, and then see if we have anything left that needs a "the". If so, we'll discuss it further =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:15, 1 November 2008 (CET)
