Hi An Adventurer, I'm wondering why you re-changed the naming for [[69.8S, 59.7W - Obsidian Golem Vent]]. Having the coordinates in the title seems to be counter-productive and not the standard, as most people don't search by coords, but by name. And there are only a few articles that have the coords in the title, which I tried to correct, and you changed back. It seems to me that the article's title should be the actual name of what is at the coords, and then a page with the coords could redirect to that proper title, such as [[Obsidian Node Pyramid]], [[Aerbax's Citadel ]], etc. Only two articles, [[57.0S, 68.8W - Heartland Portal]] and [[69.8S, 59.7W - Obsidian Golem Vent]] seem to not follow the standard article naming conventions. Doesn't it make more sense to have them redirect to [[Obsidian Golem Vent]] and [[Heartland Portal]]? <small>[[user:LingMei|'''Ling''']][[Special:Contributions/LingMei|♥]][[User_talk:LingMei|'''Mei''']]</small> 11:26, 11 December 2008 (CST) | Hi An Adventurer, I'm wondering why you re-changed the naming for [[69.8S, 59.7W - Obsidian Golem Vent]].

Hi, you may have missed it in the discussion but the reason for retaining the link in the section heading was to have the current link there. Of course for recent posts, the current and the original will be the same, or a duplication. But for older pages before the redesign in august they will be different. Do you think instead we should just list all three below? Or should we retain the prominent current link in the heading? The only reason I kept the old link in heading was because of redirects from other pages, but it shouldn't be hard to find those with the right search. --Tlosk 05:28, 11 December 2008 (CST)
Maybe to make it nice and clean we could just use a list of aliased links like this?

Article title question
Hi An Adventurer, I'm wondering why you re-changed the naming for 69.8S, 59.7W - Obsidian Golem Vent. Having the coordinates in the title seems to be counter-productive and not the standard, as most people don't search by coords, but by name. And there are only a few articles that have the coords in the title, which I tried to correct, and you changed back. It seems to me that the article's title should be the actual name of what is at the coords, and then a page with the coords could redirect to that proper title, such as Obsidian Node Pyramid, Aerbax's Citadel , etc. Only two articles, 57.0S, 68.8W - Heartland Portal and 69.8S, 59.7W - Obsidian Golem Vent seem to not follow the standard article naming conventions. Doesn't it make more sense to have them redirect to Obsidian Golem Vent and Heartland Portal? Ling♥Mei 11:26, 11 December 2008 (CST)
