Talk:War in Heaven

Rename template
I've put a rename template on this page suggesting that it be renamed War in Heaven. My reasons why: If we were to rename the page in this way -- and I definitely think we should -- Category:The War and all its subcategories would also need to be renamed. I'm hoping that one of our delightful bot-friendly mods will be able to help us out with that. But yeah. Just throwing this out here on the talk page, in the hopes that an admin will see it and agree. – N8 ☎ 21:27, April 8, 2018 (UTC)
 * "The War" is kind of a terrible name. Yes, characters in the Faction Paradox series call it "the War" all the time, but that's just because the series is set during the War: people alive during WWI called it "the War" as well. It's bland, and it's non-specific. Even back in 2007, when this wiki was young as a baby, everyone agreed "The War" couldn't stay.
 * Back then, the community decided to rename the page Second War in Heaven. But as I've spelled out in The War, "Second War in Heaven" actually isn't a title that's ever been applied to this conflict. However, "War in Heaven" has. Many times.
 * The name "War in Heaven" was first established in the story that first introduced the War, and it's been used a plethora of times since then: the first audio; both comics; all the MNP books (except Erasing Sherlock); the little "The Story So Far" at the start of every MNP book (except Erasing Sherlock); the only Random Static novel; the most recent FP release; and even one Iris Wildthyme short story. It's entirely possible that I'm even missing some. As a matter of fact, whenever an uninvolved party refers to the War, "War in Heaven" is consistently the name they use. The current intro does a great job explaining why most people call it "the War" as well as why the page should really be named "War in Heaven".
