Forum:SH:Weapon names


 * I'm currently making all the equipment articles for the FFG core rulebooks and am not sure how to precede with naming some of the equipment. Several of the items have names including a nickname marked with quotation marks such as the WQ80 barrel, which has its name given in the book as the WQ80 "Longshot" barrel. In most of these cases I've not included the nickname in the article's title as this seems to be the precedent with previous articles like the Model 434 blaster pistol, which would otherwise have the name Model 434 "Deathhammer" blaster pistol. There are however some articles in which the nickname is the only part of the name which distinguishes it from any other product, for example the "Longsight" electrobinoculars or the "Ghost" optical camouflage system. If I don't include the nicknames in these articles' titles then they'll share names with the generic product, as in just electrobinoculars or optical camouflage system (an article I need to create for the generic product type). So should I include the nicknames with quotation marks, or without? Or possibly as something like Electrobinoculars (Longshot) or Electrobinoculars (Fabritech) since the company producing them is always given. Ayrehead02 (talk) 21:55, September 16, 2014 (UTC)
