Talk:Joyous Exultation

Rename
Waypoint refers to it as "Saepon'kal". Should we rename the article, like we did with Decided Heart? - NightHammer (talk) 16:26, 10 November 2014 (EST)
 * We probably should. -- SFH (talk) 16:39, 10 November 2014 (EST)

I believe we should. It's a Covenant world and we should spread the knowledge that we now know it's true name.--The Master Builder (talk) 16:42, 10 November 2014 (EST)
 * If we go by the example of Decided Heart, then probably, though I'd like to question this practice—the current title has been used in more material than a single online reference document, has actual meaning and is and easier to remember than the alien name. Most of our Covenant titles and other items are translations anyway; if we knew and used the "true" names of everything all of our Covenant rank, tech, weapon, etc. pages would be unrecognizable, apostrophe-filled gibberish. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 23:59, 10 November 2014 (EST)

We could just keep this restricted to planetary objects. It would be nice to have a consistency in the names of Covenant worlds instead of having half of them named using human words and half named using Sangheili worlds.--The Master Builder (talk) 18:18, 11 November 2014 (EST)
 * This would be the better option, that is, to restrict only to planets. — subtank   06:37, 15 November 2014 (EST)
 * So it there are no other objections, shall we move it? -- SFH (talk) 16:08, 16 November 2014 (EST)
 * I think this question is intricately connected to whether the Maginot Line should stay as it is or be renamed according to its Forerunner name. Imrane-117 (talk) 19:29, 16 November 2014 (EST)
 * I was thinking of the same thing... these things tend to be a slippery slope. First you're naming aircraft by their common name and one day you notice you've replaced all weapon and vehicle titles with their "casual" counterparts. I'm personally more inclined toward moving the Malurok page back to Decided Heart, though it isn't really a deal-breaker for me either way. Since most seem to agree with moving this page we might just have to proceed with that. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 02:47, 20 November 2014 (EST)
 * Wiki practice is that we defer to the most commonly used/most memorable name. A similar example to this would be Earth and Mars, where we use the human names for them as opposed to the Forerunner names. Renaming the page in my opinion, would only confuse readers.-- 11:16, 20 November 2014 (EST)

Yep, Joyous Exultation should stay as-is. I also have no objection to going back to Decided Heart. Calling it Malurok seemed like a good idea at the time but our "English trumps indigenous" naming scheme does work better. -- Our vengeance is at hand.  ( Talk to me. ) 11:36, 20 November 2014 (EST)
