Honestly I think we should use full names for the article names but the short hand names for the name above the image.[[User talk:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 00:01, 30 October 2012 (EDT)

[http://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=Forum:Updating_policies,_guidelines_and_the_wiki&diff=prev&oldid=986735#Changes.2FIntroduction Totally saw that coming]. For vehicles and weapons article names, I think we should stay with the official designation. We can absolutely mentioned their nicknames and have the them in the infobox, but not as the hyperlink. I guess it's okay to have "M12 FAV Warthog" as the hyperlink (similar to the "D77-TC Pelican" we have right now). The designation must be part of the name. "Grunt", the nickname, is not the hyperlink and article name for "Unggoy". Like Spartacus said, ''"[Visitors] won't care what the article name is, as long as they are getting up-to-date and accurate information. And besides, when talking about the item outside of the title, it can simply be referred to as the 'Mammoth' of 'M510'"''. People type the nickname into the search bar, they still get what they want. I also like the current armor designation names. —'''[[User:Spartan331|SPARTAN]][[User talk:Spartan331|331]]''' 05:18, 30 October 2012 (EDT)
