I hope nobody minds about this change. Does anybody have any thoughts about this?

:It's alright to me. It's something I've been meaning to do since the page was redesigned but I just haven't been bothered enough to actually crack down and do it. - '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<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>''' 13:58, July 30, 2015 (UTC)
==Inconsistency for file names of game icons==
While working on a new template, I stumbled upon an inconsistency in how TSW names game icon files. Specifically, we use the full game name in the names of icons for The Sims and The Sims 2, as in [[:File:The Sims 2 Apartment Life Icon.png]], whereas we use the abbreviated game name for icon file names from The Sims 3 and The Sims 4, as in [[:File:TS3G Icon.png]] (TS3 Generations) and [[:File:TS4GTW Icon.png]] (TS4 Get Together).
One option to resolve this is to set up a ton of redirect pages so that the correct image will be pulled up no matter whether the full name or abbreviated name is used. While this would function, it causes some problems from a maintenance standpoint. I'd argue that the better solution, albeit one that would involve some additional work, would be to move all the files to a consistent name, either as the full name or as an abbreviated name for all games and packs.
Additionally, I haven't done any in-depth digging into this outside of game icons, but I fear this inconsistency may stretch to game logo file names as well.
Should we do something about this? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<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>''' 22:47, August 17, 2015 (UTC)
