Talk:Via Rosso

• Is it viarosso? or Via Rosso? because both have been spelt in the article and we need conformity - I have a feeling its the first although we could do with someone checking :) --δρ • Delphi ^{(t) • (c)} 00:54, 27 June 2008 (BST)
• Checked in game it's Viarosso thats is shown on the location section of the Rpos and the entering of district messages, and also the direction signs to Viarosso.
• However in the official history found both here and on neocron.com it is spelt Via Rosso. --Reaction 01:44, 27 June 2008 (BST)

• Just had a quick glance at the game manual and its Via Rosso in there too. --Reaction 02:24, 27 June 2008 (BST)
• Hahahaha good old KK ;) We need to decide which convention we are going to follow then - I think my vote would go for Viarsso seen as that is what it seems to be called in game --δρ • Delphi ^{(t) • (c)} 07:20, 27 June 2008 (BST)
  • I always assumed it was (and prefer) Via Rosso, but the GR name and sector map each say "VIAROSSO", so I guess that makes more sense --StevenJ 10:01, 27 June 2008 (BST)
    • Lol you got to love KK. There is another one like Viarosso - Tech Haven and Techhaven. I'm in favour of using the ingame name, while keeping a redirect in for people who do type in "via rosso" --Brammers 10:08, 27 June 2008 (BST)
      • BioTech, Biotech, Bio Tech... fun times. The redirect is a sensible idea, I'm all for that solution. Just for the hell of it, I searched the NC forum for "Via Rosso" (with quotes) - 383 results. Viarosso returned 440. Weirdly, VR returned just 148. --StevenJ 11:14, 27 June 2008 (BST)
        • OK, There is now a vote on the subject. I've got to say, even though like StevenJ, I prefer Via Rosso and think it looks better. I am now tempted towards using Viarosso for the wiki. --Reaction 14:01, 27 June 2008 (BST)
          • Is this an admin only vote or also open for other users? --Biglines 15:01, 27 June 2008 (BST)

Comments

Even though I initialy moved the page to Via Rosso, I know think its best we move the page back to Viarosso and in the interest of continuity we use the same policy of in-game names to name all similar pages.--Reaction 14:01, 27 June 2008 (BST)

I agree with Reaction's comment here, and I'm going to sugguest this gets included in a policy page somewhere. Btw what are the wasteland sectors called in game? Is it J01 or J 01 Found a few screenshots, it's definatly has a space....Phew I though the mapping project was going to have issues there! --Brammers 14:13, 27 June 2008 (BST)

If both Via Rosso and viarosso are used in the game, viarosso is obviously a programming related term that's easier to use for certain aspects, and Via Rosso is the [|real name].. So if there's things like redirect and disambiguation, the real name should be used for the main article imho --Biglines 15:18, 27 June 2008 (BST)
