New title?[edit]

The Red-Blue Panel article used to be called Reversible Platform. It seems that this article was named Reversible Wall because of that. Wouldn't it make more sense to rename this article "Red-Blue Wall"? I kind of forgot what's the wiki policy on changing conjectural names.

Article name[edit]

If anyone is wondering, the relevant Prima guide simply calls these things by a number of names, including "colorful blocks", "red and blue blocks", and then simply "blocks" for the remainder of the guide. Block (reversible) may be a feasible name, though I'd like to see some opinions on this. Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 19:22, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

Late reply, but "red and blue blocks" is pretty similar to the alleged French name, so it might be good. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:14, October 23, 2020 (EDT)

Plural[edit]

Shouldn't it be "Red and blue block"? Spectrogram (talk) 08:40, March 28, 2023 (EDT)

I think they're technically two different platforms, just grouped together, similar to Sinking and Rising Mushrooms. LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:59, March 28, 2023 (EDT)
Why was Rotating bar renamed then if there are four bars? Spectrogram (talk) 09:40, March 28, 2023 (EDT)
That's really a question for ThePowerPlayer (talk), but I guess it depends on what kind of article it intends to be: if it's about the red bars in general (as the obstacle course has more of them not part of the cross object), then singular is fine, but if it's about the cross object specifically, then it probably should've stayed plural.
