Request for comment: Titling puzzle and round pages
Background
Puzzle and round pages need to be disambiguated by hunt in the case of duplicate names, such as Marching Band (2019, 2020). There are a few main proposals:
- Parenthetical disambiguation with full hunt names (e.g.
Marching Band (MIT Mystery Hunt 2019)) - Parenthetical disambiguation with a standardized set of abbreviations (e.g.
Marching Band (MH19)) - Subpages: Have each puzzle/round/etc be a subpage within each hunt page (e.g.
MIT Mystery Hunt 2019/Marching Band)
Please express your opinion on each of these options below. You may bold Support or Oppose to indicate your sentiment towards each proposal. Opinions can change with discussion; in that case, strike out your original bold vote.
Do not use the "reply" button for initial comments; instead, edit this talk page like a normal page, add a new entry to the bulleted list by starting a line with *, then end your line with ~~~~ to sign your comment with your name and a timestamp. ev (talk) 03:17, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
Parenthetical disambiguation (full hunt names)
- Neutral. Not as nice without the breadcrumb links to parent pages IMO, and it's harder for templates and the like to parse, but I can understand the appeal of avoiding slashes in page titles and categories. ev (talk) 03:37, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
Parenthetical disambiguation (abbreviations)
- Oppose. The abbreviation system is likely to run into issues with similarly-named hunts, such as the CPHs, and may be confusing to those unaware with specific hunts. ev (talk) 03:37, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
Subpages
- Support. We can work with this: having stuff in infobox templates will allow us to prettify things such as the displayed title and sorting in categories. The breadcrumb trail to parent pages is helpful, we can always have redirects and disambiguation pages, and we can build templates with structure (allowing for things like {{L}} for links to items within the same hunt). IMO the only downside is that ugly titles will be visible on category pages. ev (talk) 03:37, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

You can use the reply tool here (bullets are more important when it needs to be clear which comments are initial "votes".) ev (talk) 03:17, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
