Talk:Elasund

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Page name

I think this article should be called simple "Elasund", as that is the way people refer to the game and how they are likely to look it up. If an article is created about the fictional city of Elasund as it relates to the novel, then KevSYC's latest point might have more weight, but until then, I believe that games subtitles are as unnecessary in article titles as book subtitles are. Move history:

• 05:46, 20 February 2007 KelvSYC moved Elasund to Elasund: The First City over redirect: Subtitle is significant - Elasund by itself refers to the Catan novel's setting, while The First City refers to the game itself

• 13:50, 9 November 2006 JHunterJ moved Elasund: The First City to Elasund: Use most common name; see also Wikipedia:Naming conventions (books)#Subtitles
• 20:34, 6 November 2006 KelvSYC moved Elasund to Elasund: The First City: Subtitles form part of the full name, and is thus necessary

• 20:07, 15 September 2006 JHunterJ moved Elasund: The First City to Elasund: revert move; subtitle not needed in article title
• 19:37, 15 September 2006 KelvSYC moved Elasund to Elasund: The First City: move to full title

I agree -- the game is generally referred to as simply "Elasund." The novel possibly deserves its own page, but there should at least be a tag at the top: This page is about the novel. For the boardgame based on the novel, see...". -- dcclark (talk) 14:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

BTW, the novel isn't called Elasund, it's called Die Siedler von Catan. Apparently it includes reference to the city of Elasund within. -- JHunterJ 17:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
