I think we need to decide on the article naming convention. For example, we have the [[ARC-920]], the abbreviated name of the Asymmetric Recoilless Carbine-920, as the article name. But, we also have the [[M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle/Assault Weapon]] (''pant'') as the article name for the rocket launcher. One uses the abbreviated designation, while the other uses the entire designation. There is a similar problem with vehicles: [[AV-14 Hornet]] (designation + nickname) and [[M12 Force Application Vehicle]] (designation and no nickname). These are just some examples. There are a lot more. —[[User:Spartan331|S331]] [[File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px]]([[User talk:Spartan331|COM]] • [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Mission Log]] • [[User profile:Spartan331|Profile]]) 00:56, 26 May 2012 (EDT)

:So, I guess we should use the following naming convention: just short abbreviation for weapon articles (i.e. ARC-920 over long-title-here-yay!) and designation with nickname for vehicle articles (i.e. M12 FAV Warthog instead of M12 Flalala-Alalala-Vlalala)? Of course, ship articles won't follow this style.— [[User:Subtank|subtank]] 06:40, 26 May 2012 (EDT)
