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 while I speedify the rename, 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".
