Okay, so I have a question regarding collection articles.
Okay, so I have a question regarding collection articles.
Currently, there are (for example) two pages; "Bug collecting" and "Metal collecting". However, there isn't a clear idea on how we name those collection pages. Having the "collecting" in the front feels like it's an interacton article, even though "Metal collecting" is only about the collectibles, which are objects. So in that regard, the article should be just named "Metal".

I think it would make sense to move "Metal Collecting" to "Metal" (or perhaps "''Metal (collectible)''"). Bug Collecting, however, does also describe the activity of catching bugs, similar to how the [[Fishing]] articles both describe the act of fishing, and list the available fish in each game. As to whether or not this is consistent... can you list out some other articles that have the same issue as you describe? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 04:07, May 25, 2019 (UTC)

==Conclusion==
There is no resolution here, so I'd suggest that anyone who wants to find a solution [[TSW:BOLD|just act boldly]] until or unless there is greater consensus. It may be possible for a consensus to evolve over time without a formal discussion. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 17:34, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
