Talk:Bottlecap (Fallout 4)

Bottle cap or Bottlecap?
The in-game naming is one word, Bottlecap.

As far as I know, we don't correct the developers' "mistakes". And – as an example – Mole rat hide, which matches other occurrences of the term "mole rat", redirects to Molerat hide, as it is "wrongly" named in-game.

So I think we should use the redirect from Bottlecap (Fallout 4) to here vice versa. --  -- You like to talk to me? -- cCContributions -- 14:53, 24 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Yeah, as far as I know we only correct the developers mistakes when it comes to over-capitalization, but I think we keep bad spelling. I'll redirect it to "bottlecap" and then put a sic in the lead so we still recognize it's spelled wrong. --Kastera (talk) 20:28, 24 January 2017 (UTC)


 * This ultimately depends on how the game treats it. If the spelling is inconsistent, especially over different games, then it is best to defer to proper English-American spelling conventions. If the name is consistent across at least the modern games, then defer to that, instead.


 * The problem is that Bethesda are largely inconsistent with how they spell things, and in how they capitalize things. Just keep that in-mind. GarouxBloodline 20:35, 24 January 2017 (UTC)


 * It's not that easy… Consistency only exists by giving the mine, made out of this, the same misspelled name: bottlecap mine. That's rather "consistency across the modern games", only "the modern game" (without "s").
 * As long as for the lore junkies all is explained properly and at the proper places – here in the article, on the overview page –, and as long as there's the redirect I think this solution is the best. Otherwise we probably would have to make the change anyway with the release of FO5 – if they remain "consistent". ;o) -- UserCCCSig.png  -- You like to talk to me? -- cCContributions -- 20:58, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * By the way – the others don't have this redirect. ;o) -- UserCCCSig.png  -- You like to talk to me? -- cCContributions -- 21:02, 24 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Consistency, unless we decide to pour through literally every transcript in each of the games, is in the eye of the beholder. If you feel/know that the consistency lies one way or the other, then defer to that. So long as you're making a logical/reasonable change, then you will be backed up until further information comes forward. GarouxBloodline 21:07, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
