Forum:CT Archive/"Star Wars" in article titles

So, as far as I can tell, there's no official decision on the inclusion of the brand "Star Wars" in the names of articles about specific works. For example, we have things like Star Wars: Empire but also things like The Essential Atlas. I made a draft addition to Wookieepedia:Naming Policy to try and make an actual system for this sort of thing, rather than the arbitrary names we have now.

Pros of using "Star Wars" in titles:
 * 1) More accurate, since nearly all works are marketed as something like Star Wars: The Title of the Book.
 * 2) Easily distinguishes between in-universe and real-world items, if the title also refers to something else, to avoid having to use parentheses, as in Millennium Falcon (novel), or Death Star (novel).
 * 3) Distinguishes between individual stories in a work and entire works.
 * 4) Distinguishes between fiction explicitly made for Star Wars and other works that merit articles.

Cons of using "Star Wars" in titles:
 * 1) Most users are already aware that the works on this site are Star Wars works, making it somewhat redundant.
 * 2) Longer article names.
 * 3) Makes it somewhat harder to distinguish between sources on Appearances and Sources lists.
