The Proposal

There have been numerous discussions recently on whether or not to rename certain aspects of the wiki to what some view as less problematic names.
The current proposals are as follows:

The option of including these names as alternatives instead of replacing them exists and could be applied via a parameter in the achievement.
Alternative names are welcomed if you believe the currently listed options need work.

Discussing a Proposal

The discussion of this proposal is similar to that of the proposed achievements. Add a comment to Talk:Renaming Proposal with one of the four following options:

  • Support the proposal - love it, like it, approve it, feel the sport will be better for its existence
  • Do not oppose - think it's a bit dumb, boring, meh, or of no personal interest, but won't hurt anything
  • Oppose - there is a specific stated reason why this renaming should not occur
  • Needs work - this might be viable but has problems the way it is
