Forum:SH Archive/Edit changed to update?

e Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

The "edit" tabs have now been altered to read "update". What the heck? Havac 05:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks to StarNeptune I believe. Is this a problem?-- Lord Oblivion Sith holocron[[Image:Oldsith.png|30px]] 05:22, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, we're not updating. We're editing. It just feels wrong. Editing the page is very definitely what we're doing, whereas "updating" just sounds like one of the ridiculous politically correct terms that replace a perfectly normal word. It's one of those little tweaks that doesn't make any sense and just screws with something that's been perfectly fine for years. Havac 05:31, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No big deal, but I prefer "edit". --Azizlight 05:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. Such an important change to the interface really should require community approval before being implemented. I don't mind changing 'protect' to 'shield' and 'delete' to 'blast', but changing 'edit' to 'update' does not make much sense to me.– 05:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Meh. I figured if we're going to act like an in-universe database, using the word "update" instead of edit would make a little bit more sense. If people REALLY hate the word, it can be changed back.  StarNeptune Talk to me! 05:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't HATE it . . . well, not like I hate StuporShadow or anything. But I definitely preferred it the old way. jSarek 05:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll be bold. I hate it. Wildyoda 05:44, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Meh. Whiners.-- Lord Oblivion Sith holocron[[Image:Oldsith.png|30px]] 05:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm fine either way. G .He (Talk!) 05:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well Update does sound more progressive. I can get used to Update.  Either one is fine with me.  -Fnlayson 06:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Interesting, we have "shield" and "blast" as well. -- Riffsyphon1024 07:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * ...and yet it still says "Editing XXX". I prefered it the old way. .  .  .  .  08:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

 * It should be edit. I'm afraid of change :) -no, I'm joking in every sense of the word, however, in whatever case it is editing the page- however correcting something that is incorrent or correnting grammar and such isn't necessarily updating as it is editing or changing. This is ruining a tradition anyway. Darth Maddolis 09:39, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Prefer edit. Though I won't exactly be losing sleep over it. Green Tentacle (Talk) 13:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with Star Neptune. Adamwankenobi 18:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Meh, I liked that 'lil "edit" box. "Update"'s all big and clunky, and it's just weird ;) - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 18:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I reverted it; please hold a vote if you wish to change something like this. --Imp 19:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Huzzah! Welcome back, little guy! ;) - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 19:43, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I feel "update," "blast" and "shield" just sound unprofessional. This is an encyclopedia, not some half-serious fanfic site. --Imp 21:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, come on. Non-admins don't even see "blast" and "shield". Why should one vote cover all three? -- Darth Culator  (Talk)(Kills) 21:51, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Because we either have proper or silly names. --Imp 22:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Vote
Let's get this over with. --Imp 21:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Change to update, blast and shield

Keep as edit, delete and protect

 * 1) Imp 21:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Even in-universe, they'd be silly, gimmicky names. Havac 21:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) JMAS 21:37, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) Changed my vote. Havac has a point. What was I thinking?!? Adamwankenobi 21:45, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) Leave it alone This stuff is confusing enough for newcomers to figure out sometimes. Stuff related to the encyclopedia or the software should say what it means, whatever our own slang for it is around here. Wildyoda 22:11, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Keep as edit, but change to blast and shield

 * 1) Weak support, but I refuse to be hemmed in by Imp's false dilemma. I definitely think "edit" should stay as it was, but am more ambivalent about the admin options.  jSarek 23:28, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
