	:::::To clarify, simplifying the titles further is not exactly what I meant; I was merely noting that we could've kept our titles as they were in the first place because you might as well link to redirects like [[plasma pistol]] with no ill effects (as long as the redirects make sense and their numbers stay in acceptable limits). It's just that a lot of users tend to view the use of redirects as "wrong" somehow (I was one of them for a long time until I realized there's really no difference between linking a redirect and the actual page title). Redirects can also be useful when linking to subsections of pages; <nowiki>"[[human technology]]"</nowiki> is functionally identical to <nowiki>"[[Human#Technology\|human technology]]"</nowiki>, just quicker to type and tidier looking when you're editing an article. --[[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> 09:17, 14 November 2014 (EST)		:::::To clarify, simplifying the titles further is not exactly what I meant; I was merely noting that we could've kept our titles as they were in the first place because you might as well link to redirects like [[plasma pistol]] with no ill effects (as long as the redirects make sense and their numbers stay in acceptable limits).

			Let's go with the simple "MJOLNIR/SOMETHING variant". "MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/SOMETHING variant" is quite lengthy. :P — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank\|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 07:03, 15 November 2014 (EST)
