Talk:Marvel's Midnight Suns

Midnight Sun and Wiki
Will this have its own Fandom Wiki and will this video game have its own page on the Marvel Fandom Wiki? CarverSindile (talk) 03:18, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Fandom is a separate website that hosts wikis, so you need to ask the editors on those wikis. For what it's worth, wikia:marvel:Marvel's Midnight Suns already exists. Regards So  Why  19:52, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I know its a separate website but I asked here because I couldn't find the Fandom wiki for the video game (which mostly like means it hasn't been created yet) but I wasn't sure. Regards Carver  Sindile  CarverSindile (talk) 20:47, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Marvel's Midnight Suns → Midnight Suns – I had previously made this WP:BOLD move thinking it would not be uncontroversial, although as it seems it is, I am now making a formal move request discussion, stemming from a separate RM at Talk:Spider-Man (2018 video game). While "Marvel's Midnight Suns" is the WP:COMMONNAME, the redirect Midnight Suns, which already redirects to this article and differentiates it enough from the comics team the game is based on, Midnight Sons, is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and as such, no further disambiguation of "Marvel's" is necessary, and is not used for the likes of Iron Man VR, Blade (upcoming video game), but is used for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and Marvel's Avengers (video game) (and I realized should be used for Marvel's Spider-Man), given WP:SMALLDETAILS and WP:NATURAL. The difference between "Sons" and "Suns" should not dissuade us from using the actual common name as the article's title, especially when hatnotes and redirects exist to serve navigation aid for our readers.

 * Oppese The current name is the WP:COMMONNAME. Lightoil (talk) 04:24, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Yet "Midnight Suns" is the more common of the two, as most readers would be directly looking for that title than the one starting with the "Marvel's" branding. WP:NATURAL explains "Using an alternative name that the subject is also commonly called in English reliable sources, albeit not as commonly as the preferred-but-ambiguous title, is sometimes preferred. To echo comments from Talk:Spider-Man (2018 video game), Marvel's Midnight Suns is not an ambiguous term, though neither is "Midnight Suns", as that is not used by any other article for a title and both are not ambiguous. It's the same case as for why we use Rogue One as the title and not Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the main title is first-and-foremost unambiguous and clear enough to be the PRIMARY name of the subject, no further disambiguation (of "Marvel's", in this instance), is needed. WP:SUBTITLE also states "When the most commonly used name is ambiguous, the full title and subtitle might be suitable to be used as a form of natural disambiguation." and while one could argue "Marvel's" is enough to differentiate the game from the comics, the clear distinct verbiage for this game's title over the comics one is enough for the simpler title to be used for this article, and for a hatnote to point to the comics article rather than retaining an unnecessary and unnatural disambiguation for this.

 * Oppose "Marvel's Midnight Suns" is clearly the common name used in most reviews and mentions of the game in RS. Simple as that. It's the devs, not us, who are using that to distinguish the name of the game. It's also not a subtitle. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:30, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Subtitles can come in many forms, not necessarily a title after a colon. Fast & Furious Presents is the subtitle of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. William Shakespeare's is the subtitle of William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. Reloaded is the subtitle of The Matrix Reloaded. InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:17, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose This seems to be a case of WP:CONCISE, where we usually prefer the shorter name if it is precise and unambiguous. However, from a news search online, "Marvel's Midnight Suns" does appear to be the overwhelmingly common name used by sources, so it wouldn't do any harm to include "Marvel's" even if disambiguation isn't strictly necessary. WP:SUBTITLE does permit the use of subtitles if it is not commonly omitted. InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:14, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Combat similar to xcom?
The only similarity is the turn based aspect. It is not sandbox, there is no ambush possibility there is no flanking.

This comparison should be removed. 104.163.139.69 (talk) 21:25, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
