Talk:Level: Difference between revisions

::I still think "level" is the best option especially for a gaming wiki. I don't have precise numbers but "level" is likely used way more across the wiki than "course". I think renaming this article to "course" is going to create pretty annoying piping and redirect issues when "level" is a far more familiar term (and it's far from a dated term). Not to mention, should we rename all the subcategories in [[:Category:Levels]], rename our various navigation templates (or parts of navigation templates) like {{tem|YIDS levels}}, rename our templates {{tem|level infobox}}, to reflect the new preferred naming scheme? Or do we just stop at article name and article content, where we create this discrepancy where we just semi-endorse the new term? Additionally, this assumes the scope is limited to the 2D ''Mario'' platformers; there's no guarantee that the gameplay elements will are also called "courses" in other series such as ''Super Smash Bros.'', various Mario Sports games, or in Paper Mario, so do we apply "course" to those too? Or do we keep "course" just for 2D Mario levels? That's not going to be good for wiki editors, a lot of restructuring over relatively minor semantics, a lot of headache over the extent of how we should apply these changes. We do try to adhere to naming guidelines most of the time, but these are guidelines in the end, and I don't think these guidelines were written with generic, versatile terminology in mind. {{User:Mario/sig}} 20:50, April 20, 2023 (EDT)
