Since there is an inconsistency of both the use of parentheses in article names and the use of both the terms "player" and "user"  on the wiki, we should vote on how we should continue to use them.

Parentheses in Article names
The first inconsistency is the use of parentheses in article names. For example, in the Bits category, there are articles that use "(Bits)" or "(bits)" in their names, as well as articles that don't use them.

Most other wikis only use them when disambiguation (resolving conflicts from when some things are ambiguous, or when there is something that is named the same but has different meanings) is needed. An example of this on our wiki is with Mechanic Ed. There is both a creator and a character named Mechanic Ed (although the creator's name doesn't have a space, they are still the same in spelling). Of course, there will be something like "For the character, see Mechanic Ed (character)" so that viewers are not confused.

Should we only use parentheses in article names when disambiguation is needed?

Yes: 0

No: 0

Undecided: 0

If this goes into effect, then all pages that have anything like "(Bit)" or "(Landmark)" will have their names changed unless disambiguation is needed.

Player or User
The second inconsistency is with the use of the terms "player" and "user". For the categories and articles about people who play KK, "user" is normally used. On some other articles, "player" is used instead.

Usually on gaming wikis, "player" is used to describe the person playing the game. "User" is not often used for games.

There is also a blog for KK, but people who use the blog have most likely played the game at least once.

Should we use the term "player" or "user" on this wiki?

Player: 0

User: 0

Undecided:0
