The Sims Wiki talk:Manual of Style

Variants of game titles between countries/locales
How does, or how should, this wiki address differences in a few game titles between the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, or elsewhere? Personally, I think games such as The Sims: Livin' Large (Livin' it up in the UK), The Sims: Vacation (UK: On Holiday), The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack (UK: Christmas Party Pack), or The Sims 3: High-End Loft Stuff (UK: Design and Hi-Tech Stuff), should have pages both for the official title, and a redirect page for the alternative titles, that link back to the official title. For example, have a page for Livin' Large, but also a page for Livin' it up, which would automatically redirect to Livin' Large. Thoughts? LostInRiverview (talk)(blog) 02:32, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
