:In my own tome of Halo info I have a major title of the colloquial name such as "T-26 Banshee" and a subtitle heading of "Official UNSC Designation: Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft". It's worked well for my own Halo info and lets me include it all. I think the main titles here should use the colloquial where possible. If someone is looking it up, that's what they'll search for, not a T-56 Deployment Platform...who's going to text search that? Also, whoever made the list above, the ''Song of the East'' is NOT a Halcyon-class. :) -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 10:54, 27 August 2013 (EDT)

::I'm gonna go with what I said back on November 27. The best and simplest way to list items would be to include the model number and then the colloquial/in-game name. Examples: ''Type-52 Phantom'', ''M6D Magnum'', or ''Z-110 Boltshot''. The Type/M Series/Z designation provides a nice way of dividing the lists between the factions, while the common name allows readers who may not know the designation to know what the item is.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 11:52, 27 August 2013 (EDT)
