The "edit" tabs have now been altered to read "update". What the heck? Havac 05:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * Thanks to StarNeptune I believe. Is this a problem?--Lord OblivionSith holocronFile:Sith Emblem.svg 05:22, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * Well, we're not updating. We're editing. It just feels wrong. Editing the page is very definitely what we're doing, whereas "updating" just sounds like one of the ridiculous politically correct terms that replace a perfectly normal word. It's one of those little tweaks that doesn't make any sense and just screws with something that's been perfectly fine for years. Havac 05:31, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * No big deal, but I prefer "edit". --Azizlight 05:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * I agree. Such an important change to the interface really shou

Such an important change to the interface really should require community approval before being implemented. I don't mind changing 'protect' to 'shield' and 'delete' to 'blast', but changing 'edit' to 'update' does not make much sense to me.– 05:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * Meh. I figured if we're going to act like an in-universe database, using the word "update" instead of edit would make a little bit more sense. If people REALLY hate the word, it can be changed back. StarNeptuneTalk to me! 05:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * I don't HATE it . . . well, not like I hate StuporShadow or anything. But I definitely preferred it the old way. jSarek 05:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * I'll be bold. I hate it. Wildyoda 05:44, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * Meh. Whiners.--Lord OblivionSith holocronFile:Sith Emblem.svg 05:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * I'm fine either way. G.He(Talk!) 05:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * Well Update does sound more progressive. I can get used to Update. Either one is fine with me. -Fnlayson 06:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * Interesting, we have "shield" and "blast" as well. -- Riffsyphon1024 07:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * ...and yet it still says "Editing XXX". I prefered it the old way. .... 08:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * EH-DIT! EH-DIT! EH-DIT! EH-DIT! EH-DIT! EH-DIT! Enochf 08:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * It should be edit. I'm afraid of change :) -no, I'm joking in every sense of the word, however, in whatever case it is editing the page- however correcting something that is incorrent or correnting grammar and such isn't necessarily updating as it is editing or changing. This is ruining a tradition anyway. Darth Maddolis 09:39, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * Prefer edit. Though I won't exactly be losing sleep over it. Green Tentacle (Talk) 13:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * * I agree with Star Neptune. Adamwankenobi 18:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * Meh, I liked that 'lil "edit" box. "Update"'s all big and clunky, and it's just weird ;) - \\Captain Kwenn// — Ahoy! 18:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * I reverted it; please hold a vote if you wish to change something like this. --Imp 19:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * Huzzah! Welcome back, little guy! ;) - \\Captain Kwenn// — Ahoy! 19:43, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * I feel "update," "blast" and "shield" just sound unprofessional. This is an encyclopedia, not some half-serious fanfic site. --Imp 21:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC) Oh, come on. Non-admins don't even see "blast" and "shield". Why should one vote cover all three? -- Darth Culator (Talk)(Kills) 21:51, 12 December 2006 (UTC) * We should either stick to MediaWiki standard for this, or have our own fairy tale words replace them entirely. --Imp 22:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
