User blog:Blupo/1HSword & 2HSword Inconsistency

Ok, so there is an inconsistency in the game as to whether 1HSword/Longsword and 2HSword/Greatsword is correct.

In the wiki, we refer to them as 1HSword and 2HSword, respectively, instead of Longsword and Greatsword. This is what they used to be categorised in-game, and that is the weapon type that would appear when looking at it in the inventory.

Recently, however, they have been changed to say Longsword and Greatsword. This is now what will show up in the inventory. I recently changed any occurences of Longsword to 1HSword and Greatsword to 2Hsword (without thinking to check if it changed before I did it). The problem is that in the inventory sort it still says 1HSword and 2HSword.

So, let's settle this once and for all.

The Question Which convention should be used on the wiki: 1HSword/2HSword or Longsword/Greatsword?

This question will have some changes, namely replacing all or its occurences with the other and renaming the categories if necessary. This won't be a problem, however.

The other change is that it will become a consensus decision (unless they decide to change the category to something other than 1HSword/2HSword/Longsword/Greatsword). The one that does not have consensus will be considered incorrect permanently, unless we do this again and decide to use another convention.

Consensus Instead of having a poll, we're going to do something different. Polls are good for gauging consensus, but we have to actually know who's in support of one option and who's in support of the other.

Please leave a comment for which option you are supporting, and optionally give a reason for your choice.
