Hi guys! How do you think we should handle levles like [[Sundered Pass]] and [[The Canyon Rim Mines]]? Should we use "The" in the name or not? The text appearing on the screen uses "The" in it, but it's a bit annoying in a wiki. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:04, 9 September 2009 (CEST)

:I personally would create both articles, just to be sure (Redirects are available for a reason, no? :p ), and use all words capitalised/used in game (in this case, include The). My reasoning is that a wiki is similar to an encyclopedia; you document 'it' as it is, not as you'd want it to be. A good example is (was; fixed a few months ago) a Boss monster in Guild Wars; it was missing a space in it's name. On the Guild Wars Wiki, the page name also had the typo, because that's the Boss's name in game. When it was fixed, they had to simply press 2 buttons and the page was renamed. But, if general consensus is to not include "The", I'm fine with that, of course :> --[[User:Vipermagi|Vipermagi]] 20:24, 9 September 2009 (CEST)
