: On the top of the page it should say something like "this weapon is informally known as the Rocket Launcher" | |||

:It was shot down because it was "redundant" even though having the entire previous name of the rocket launcher seems extremely more redundant to me. [[User talk:Darb 013|Darb 013]] 03:58, August 12, 2010 (UTC) | |||

Does anyone else find it odd that despite the RL looking quite different from the previous game | |||
models, it is still designated the M41 SSR? Should it be considered the Army's version, or do you | |||
think Bungie simply intended to make this the new canonically updated look of the RL? This unfortunately isn't the only weapon with this problem. The Spartan Laser and Magnum are also in a similar boat. | |||

==To rename or not to rename== | |||
Renaming this article will set a precedent for weapon articles. On the other hand, we could use the [[Template:Title|Title template]] and not rename it directly. Which one is more suitable? Do keep in mind that we've did something similar with aircraft articles such as the Pelican and the Hornet. — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 10:25, 9 August 2012 (EDT) | |||
:I would go with using Template:Title, mainly because it seems better to have all the weapons names at their longest. Or else, my OCD will force me to rename all the other weapons. —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] [[File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px]]<sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|COM]] • [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Mission Log]] • [[UserProfile:Spartan331|Profile]])</sub> 11:16, 9 August 2012 (EDT) | |||

::There's nothing wrong with setting a precedent as there aren't too many weapon and vehicle articles with long-form names, most of them being from the games. Keep the short hand designation (example: ''current title < M41 SSR MAAW or M41 rocket launcher'') for the article's title and within the introductory paragraph and infobox, use the long-form. Having to get every little designation word for these articles correct is a real bitch. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}} | |||
:::I dislike the idea of having "rocket launcher" or similar in titles, because that's a discription of the weapon, not an actual ''name''. Think of it this was: what's it called? M41. What is it? A rocket launcher. Wikipedia annoys me for this. A real example would be the M72 LAW. It's name, meaning, designation, is "M72". LAW stands for Light Anti-Tank Weapon, which is what the M72 ''is''. A common one is M4A1 Carbine. Carbine is what is is, not its actual name. That's "M4A1". Just my $0.02. [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 05:51, 11 August 2012 (EDT) | |||

:Instead of keeping it as it is, couldn't we just call it "M41 SSR MAV/AW" like we used to? This was only moved to the current title because of our former policy to use the most convoluted and technical title possible. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 01:58, 30 October 2012 (EDT) | |||
::I agree with Jugus. A title with something shorter would awfully nice, and not such a hassle to deal with writing such long-winded weapon names.

[[Forum:Designations|This proposal]] which proposed to rename this article to '''M41 rocket launcher''' is more or less being put into effect now, so I will rename the article accordingly. Unless there are any objections?--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 15:54, 10 November 2013 (EST) | |||

==Formal Name?== | |||
Shouldn't the formal name (and thus page name) be the M41 Rocket Launcher? It seems unprofessional to name it by it's secondary nickname.[[User:The Ragin Pagan|The Ragin Pagan]] ([[User talk:The Ragin Pagan|talk]]) 02:17, 19 February 2018 (EST) | |||
