	:::::I admit my examples didn't quite work the way they should've, but I'm sure there are comparable instances somewhere. The fact is, the issue of whether we have "MJOLNIR/" in titles or not isn't exactly a deal-breaking one either way, though I still feel it's somewhat unnecessary. I guess you could say I've come to see article titles in a similar manner as they are presented in the ''Halo'' visual guides; they only have a main title like "Air Assault" or "CIO" and then a more elaborate name or a description right below it. Still, I'm not saying we should go as far with colloquialisms, just use a similar general philosophy. Good point about linking redirects though. --[[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> 12:54, 9 October 2013 (EDT)		:::::I admit my examples didn't quite work the way they should've, but I'm sure there are comparable instances somewhere.

			''(reset indent)'' I believe scripting ''could'' provide a solution, though I'm not sure how to achieve it. I don't think the mediawiki settings have that kind of ability to hide and show certain redirects, though I could be wrong. Anyway, as for armor titles, I feel that the simplification of armor titles as to omitting "MJOLNIR/" promotes exactly that, colloquialism, and that this proposal would go beyond its intended purpose as to apply to all articles (i.e. "Gauss Warthog" instead of "M12G1 Warthog"). It cheapens the wiki's reputation as just a fan-managed Halo encyclopaedia and not a properly-maintained, comprehensive Halo encyclopaedia managed by dedicated members of the Halo community. Then again, this is just my opinion on the matter within the proposal. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank\|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 20:13, 10 October 2013 (EDT) <!-- Idealist nut?! -->
