If you wish to know about previous steps in this site-wide changes, check:
In the context of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki, we define a "War" as a collection of events, battles and confrontations that pit different factions against each other, and are obviously the main focus of a narrative shown in a movie or TV series season.
The Events follow a very specific nomenclature system that I proudly designed, as before having it, people rushed to create articles named "Battle of This", "Battle of That", "Battle of These" and "Battle of Those". Now, our system has been taken by some other wikis, ones with permission, others by plagiarizing it, but that only proves that the system works.
However, not every category of articles works the same, and the Wars shouldn't follow a system of being named identically to each other, as it is very repetitive to see that everything is "Somebody's Campaign" or the "War against Somebody". Even attempts to diversify this have become a formula, as when I created the Schultz Conspiracy to illustrate one of the two major driving forces of The Punisher/Season Two, with a classical political conspiracy, then out of nowhere, two more people realized that the rest of the Netflix series were also conspiracies, with Rawlins Conspiracy and Kingpin's Conspiracy.
To illustrate the point, we had a movie named Avengers: Age of Ultron, and its title was very cool. Then we had many movies after that, what if that cool name was used for them too? We would have had a Phase Three announced like this: Captain America: Age of Zemo, Doctor Strange: Age of Dormammu, Guardians of the Galaxy: Age of Ego, Spider-Man: Age of Vulture, Thor: Age of Hela, Black Panther: Age of Killmonger, Avengers: Age of Thanos, Ant-Man: Age of the Wasp, Captain Marvel: Age of the Kree, Avengers: Second Age of Thanos and Spider-Man: Age of Mysterio.
Even if their content is different, having all these names would make them to appear the same and therefore, too boring. And that is what has happened with these articles. How exactly can the Runaways be considered to be fighting a war against Pride? That is probably the example that stands out more in a bad way, but there are many more.
To know where the problem is, let's classify every article in the category:
OFFICIAL NAME
These articles have a canonical name, either from the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the real world, sometimes derived from major comic book crossover events. Nevertheless, the names of these events are untouchable, and not up for discussion.
GOOD NAME
These wars have an unique name that captures the essence of the events watched on screen. They also may include code keywords given in-universe, and despite a better name may be available, the current one is good enough. In shorth, they could be renamed, but shouldn't.
NEW NAME
These events are the priority of this overhaul. They mostly follow two formulas: "Somebody's Campaign" or "War against Somebody". They have become repetitive and many times, do not represent the true nature of what is seen. A combination of Uniqueness, Creativity AND Accuracy could make them even better.
So now, if you have any general suggestions for how to deal with this problem, or maybe a proposal for an entire system, you can reply to this message and leave it here. If you happen to have a particular suggestion for a specific article in the last list above, message me in here in a separate thread.
