{{Resolved/mini|res| Consensus was not in favor of removing the colons from article titles - the colons will be kept}}
I'm proposing a change to the naming of game articles on TSW. Specifically, I'm proposing that we remove the colon in game names. For instance, ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]'' would become ''The Sims 3 Into the Future''. The new naming style would be consistent with EA's own style preferences (which omit the colon). -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 01:08, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

::: IMO the colons are fine to me. But if more wants it changed so that it's consistent with EA's, I'm fine with that. [[User:EpicJoyBoy|EpicJoyBoy]] ([[User talk:EpicJoyBoy|talk]]) 11:59, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
For what it's worth, contrary to how the games are listed on the Origin store or cosmetically, there are some official EA help articles which keep the colon, with [https://help.ea.com/uk/article/the-sims-3-pets-manual-uninstall this one for TS3:Pets] being an example. <s>I don't think it really matters too much whether or not we use a colon but whether we keep it or not I doubt anybody, EA included, would be complaining about it.</s> {{LabSig}} 12:21, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
:I withdraw my neutral standpoint. I think we should keep the colons as it would mean we have a consistent style, as Nikel pointed out below. Despite EA's inconsistencies the colons appear to be a perfectly acceptable means of naming the games. {{LabSig}} 13:47, August 25, 2013 (UTC)
Even though we may not follow EA's style, at least we're consistent on our own. I can't tell if EA is being consistent for never using the colon. Editing an article will feel strange if the colon is omitted, at least to me.

:I lean toward keeping them. As Nikel said, there's something to be said for us using a consistent style, whether or not EA does. [[User:Dharden|Dharden]] ([[User_talk:Dharden|talk]]) 23:48, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
==Conclusion==
Consensus favors keeping the colons as-is. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 18:01, August 30, 2013 (UTC)
