MediaWiki talk:Pagetitle

I feel strongly that this should be changed back to "Doom 2".

Per previous discussions at Central Processing, the Magic Bullet talk page, and a few other places on the forums at central, this page exists solely to optimize search rankings, not to be read by humans. (If it were meant for humans, we would want a description analogous to "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". Simply listing game titles implies by omission that we are a typical gaming site, which is not at all true.)

Therefore, on this page only, the name of id's 1994 game should be misspelled if that's what most people do:


 * Google: 596,000 hits vs 277,000
 * Doomworld forums:  [ doesn't index short words]
 * rome.ro forums:  [ doesn't index short words]
 * rec.games.computer.doom.*: 8,150 vs 3,260
 * alt.games.doom.*: 3,330 vs 16,600 (crosspostings may be double-counted)
