:I agree. Whilst 'cut content' is a succinct way of putting it, "cut" only covers removed content, like the plane-crash mission. There are many different types of pre-release game alterations - some cuts, some alterations, some improvements, some bugfixes. Either we split them up, or we use a title that encompasses them all. I think "Beta" covers them all but again is not technically accurate (as they aren't all from public beta versions), whilst "pre-release" is a bit awkward to type (although beta will redirect). I think it should be "[beta/pre-release] [changes/alternations]". On top of this, there are version changes - things that were one way in the first version but changed in a later version (such as [[Hot Coffee]] removal and [[PC]] versions), so maybe we should include these from an all-encompassing "game alterations" or "changed content" page? These are all similar changes made by the devs to the game, the only difference is whereabouts on the release timeline the change is made (pre-dev, pre-beta, pre-release, post-release, pre-different-console-release). We could easily have a table with a column indicating what type of alteration it is. I think "Changed Content" is the closest one we have so far.

I think "[beta/pre-release] [changes/alternations]" suits that best.

My proposal is that we rename the page to "Prerelease Content". That title covers everything and basically sums up the article in two words.--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 02:32, 28 September 2011 (BST)

I propose that we split this article into two seperate articles. One talks about cut content while one article talks about game alterations. One will be called "Changed Content" while the other will be called "Cut Content". That will avoid any confusion between correct names for this article. Thoughts?--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 02:43, 28 September 2011 (BST)

:"Changed Content" ''does'' include both cut+altered content for pre+post release - that would avoid all confusion. Also, splitting the articles into what ''happened'' to the content isn't really logical, why would someone want to read one page and not the other? Readers are more likely to be looking at what the content is than how it was changed. The only logical split would be the time (pre-release changes vs post-release changes), but I still think that's just making things complicated. This article should cover: ''"All content that was altered or removed before or after the game's release"'', which I think only "Changed Content" does.
