== Naming figures and features == | |||
I've come across several discrepancies in the text that I would like to discuss in order to see if we agree any action upon them. This entry is about naming figures and features. | |||
The CAR refers to the figures and features in lowercase or capitalized indistictively. For example: hill vs Hill. | |||
* Capitalizing or not figures and/of features | |||
I've come across several in the source material (the CAR mainly) that we could address in a revision of the text: | |||
* References to Publishers | |||
** Include original German names? | |||
** Case: King, Robber and Consort | |||
* Naming consistency in C1: | |||
* cloister vs. monastery | |||
* Thief vs. highwayman | |||
* pennant vs. coat of arms | |||
* References to the Abbot/Gingerbread Man in C1 expansions | |||

Main page structure
My high level suggestion for C1/C2 is groping:
- Base game (by HiG)
- Major Expansions (by HiG)
- Minor Expansions (by HiG)
- Minor expansions by others (Spiel Doch, Spiel Box and other events,...)
Don't see any problem either in grouping spin-offs in separate pages following the idea of Winter Edition.

Expansion naming
I've come across several discrepancies in the text that I would like to discuss in order to see if we agree any action upon them. Some may come from the source material (the CAR mainly). This entry is about Expansion naming.
For some expansions we are using names that differ from the "official" ones used by the English publishers. We have some differences in capitalization, the use of And vs. &, and other cases. I included some examples comparing with ZMG:
| Oficial Name | Wikicarpedia name |
|---|---|
| Inns & Cathedrals | Inns and Cathedrals |
| Traders & Builders | Traders and Builders |
| The Princess & The Dragon | The Princess and the Dragon |
| Abbey & Mayor | Abbey and the Mayor |
| Count, King & Robber | Count, King and Robber |
| Under The Big Top | Under the Big Top |
| The Flying Machines | The Flier (Flying Machines) |
| The Messengers | Messages, The (Dispatches) |
| The Gold Mines | The Goldmaines |
| Mage & Witch | Mage and Witch |
| The Crop Circles | Crop Circles |
Suggestion:
- Using the publisher-given name and stick to it when available.
- Verify if some other name has to be updated, checking references to translations for German.

Cross-references to Expansions/Base game
I've come across several discrepancies in the text that I would like to discuss in order to see if we agree any action upon them. This entry is about cross-references between Expansions.
The CAR original text shows cross-refereces to Expansions in italics generally in the text but not always in footnotes.
Suggestion:
- Use a link in bold to provide a navigable cross-reference that stands out from the text.
Example:
Lorem ipsum '''[[The Expansion|The Expansion]]''' blah blah blah
Lorem ipsum The Expansion blah blah blah

Self-references to a Expansions/Base game
I've come across several discrepancies in the text that I would like to discuss in order to see if we agree any action upon them. This entry is about self-references in a page.
The CAR original text shows self-refereces to Expansions capitalized.
Suggestion:
- Use a link in bold to provide a navigable cross-reference that stands out from the text. In case of transcluded page, it MediaWiki will render a link in bold, otherwise name in bold as is.
Example:
Lorem ipsum '''[[Link to Self|Link to Self]]''' blah blah blah
Lorem ipsum Link to Self|Link to Self blah blah blah
