STRAT
This renaming is news to me, just shows I no longer follow theme park news as closely as I once did! Thanks for updating the page @Ibuddy66, though per Coasterpedia:Manual of Style/Naming convention it should be at Strat SkyPod
.
Am starting to think eliminating "The" at all costs is a bit silly, but I still strongly think we should avoid all-caps as they're just less nice to read. What do you think? Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 20:59, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hey yeah it's a newer thing I guess with the name. The only reason I included the here and have all caps is that is the technical Legal name and logo name it is spelled out with Full caps in all legal forms and areas as well. Ibuddy66 (talk) 21:02, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Not sure if it's just a US thing or what but lately a lot of businesses have been renaming for legal reasons and they change from say Strong Museum (a museum near me ) to The Strong as their full legal name and official name now. If you were to just say Strong, though, you'd be referring to the local hospital and not the museum which is vastly different as it is a children's museum. Not sure if that helps with clarification on why the word the was included in this particular one. Ibuddy66 (talk) 21:04, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, to be honest its more the all-caps that bothers me here. I guess my personal preference is to avoid all caps even if it means our name doesn't match the legal name. There is no need for us to match legal names anyway (many manufacturers will have "Ltd." and such but we don't include it). But in this case it doesn't look too bad as STRAT is reasonably short. Let's see if anyone else has any strong feelings on it Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 21:21, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Sounds like a plan to me :) I wasn't too sure what you would think about it to be honest and was soemthing I was actually going to ask you about later on when I'm done with the pages haha. Ya beat me to it :P Ibuddy66 (talk) 21:54, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
