The biggest concern surrounding consistency here is the use of game names in text, section headings and page titles. | The biggest concern surrounding consistency here is the use of game names in text, section headings and page titles. | ||
For example, [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] is the full name of the game, so absolutely must be used on that page. However, on pages ''about'' that game, do we really need to use the full title. Page titles like "List of Missions in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" are cumbersome to read and to type. Shortened titles like [[Missions in GTA Vice City]] are easier in both of those respects. There are many choices of title for [[Missions in GTA Vice City|that page]], ranging from a long one (''List of Missions in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'') or short ones (''Vice City Missions''). | For example, [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] is the full name of the game, so absolutely must be used on that page.

Sites like [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] use the long "correct" titles, but pages like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_characters_in_Grand_Theft_Auto:_Liberty_City_Stories List of characters in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories] really do look silly. Notice that Wikipedia says "List of" at the start of the title - that is something that we do not do here on Grand Theft Wiki. | Sites like [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] use the long "correct" titles, but pages like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_characters_in_Grand_Theft_Auto:_Liberty_City_Stories List of characters in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories] really do look silly.
