Talk:Browning HP

Name
Need halp.

The game specifically calls the HP "Browning Pistol" whenever you normally look at it, like on the world view and if you just mouse over it. Like the Calico and the R91, I want to move the page to the in-universe name. Problem is, I'm not sure what it is. Here, the quotation says it's a "Browning Hi-Power", while Game Banshee has the description down as "Browning High Power". Who's right? Nitty Tok. 22:08, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, it should not be moved to the in-universe name. We've established a long time ago that page titles should use the in-game name (capitalization aside) - that's been a part of the (still unfinished) Item page overhaul project from the very start. Just like the R91 should be under assault rifle (Fallout 3) - I did not notice that you moved it, and I've just moved it back. Now I need to fix all the damn double redirects. What else did you move to names other than in-game ones? Please move them back. Ausir(talk) 22:11, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I moved the 9mm Calico M-950 from just M950; the non-dash name was never used anywhere, and the dash was in the description. Same with the CZ53 personal minigun, the dash never appeared anywhere. R91 was a bad example, and I believe I moved it because the Chinese assault rifle also counts as an assault rifle, so my thinking was a little screwed. Nitty Tok. 22:40, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, no problem, I guess it's my fault for not actually writing the policy down clearly anywhere - it was a result of the discussions, but not actually added to the policy pages. And yeah, the Chinese AR is also an AR, but the R91 still should be under assault rifle (Fallout 3) (of course the in-universe designation should be mentioned in the intro, and on the overview page). Anyhow, I think we should focus more on the item project now that New Vegas is almost here. Ausir(talk) 22:47, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've been meaning to do more for the projects, but I'm still waiting on a parts estimate for my proper gaming rig.
 * In the meantime... High Power or Hi-Power or just Browning Pistol? Nitty Tok. 22:49, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * According to the game files, the in-game name is actually "Browning HP". Ausir(talk) 22:51, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe it's a localization thing; it's browningPistol.ent for me, and the display name is browningPistol, which gets fixed into Browning Pistol. :/
 * I guess I could just wait until I got to Quincy for my walkthrough. Game Banshee's wrong about there being HPs in Freeport. Nitty Tok. 22:54, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not localization, I'm talking about the English version. The entity name is browningPistol, but this is the inventory name and description, from items.txt:

 * Wow, I didn't know it did that. I should look into the editor more. So, High Power? Nitty Tok. 23:00, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, Browning HP. The top line is the inventory name, which is what should be used in our article names, the bottom line is the inventory description. Ausir(talk) 23:07, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
