Talk:DBC naming
The current DBC documentation on the wiki is a mess and needs a lot of improvement.
We want to tackle it the right way in one go and have a few options to do so, we want feedback from y'all to figure out the best way.
Problem: Most DBCs are or have already been converted to DB2 (or higher) in recent WoW versions. We want to make a single page that documents all versions of said DBC, no matter if the actual filename ends in .dbc or .db2.
Solution 1: Rename all DBC pages to subpages of the DB page. For example, Map.dbc would be renamed to DB/Map.
Pros
- Independent of filename, doesn't matter if it's a DBC/DB2
Cons
- Would always display the "DB" in front of the page title on category pages and title
Solution 2: Rename all DBC pages to their filename without the extension. For example, Map.dbc would be renamed to Map, conflicts would have to be resolved like Map (definition).
Pros
- Independent of filename, doesn't matter if it's a DBC/DB2
- Clean
Cons
- Could cause conflicts, would have to be resolved as mentioned
Solution 3? Have a better solution? Suggest it in the replies.
