Um, why are there two different rocket launcher that look the exact same and say they are both in Halo CE?

Renaming this article will set a precedent for weapon articles. On the other hand, we could use the [[Template:Title|Title template]] and not rename it directly. Which one is more suitable? Do keep in mind that we've did something similar with aircraft articles such as the Pelican and the Hornet. — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  10:25, 9 August 2012 (EDT)

:I would go with using Template:Title, mainly because it seems better to have all the weapons names at their longest. Or else, my OCD will force me to rename all the other weapons. —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] [[File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px]]<sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|COM]] • [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Mission Log]] • [[UserProfile:Spartan331|Profile]])</sub> 11:16, 9 August 2012 (EDT)

::There's nothing wrong with setting a precedent as there aren't too many weapon and vehicle articles with long-form names, most of them being from the games. Keep the short hand designation (example: ''current title < M41 SSR MAAW or M41 rocket launcher'') for the article's title and within the introductory paragraph and infobox, use the long-form. Having to get every little designation word for these articles correct is a real bitch. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}

:Instead of keeping it as it is, couldn't we just call it "M41 SSR MAV/AW" like we used to? This was only moved to the current title because of our former policy to use the most convoluted and technical title possible. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 01:58, 30 October 2012 (EDT)

::I agree with Jugus. A title with something shorter would awfully nice, and not such a hassle to deal with writing such long-winded weapon names. Just saying the present title leaves me short of breath.

:::Or better yet, why not just create a special redirect(s), something like "M41 rocket launcher" or "M41 SSR MAV/AW", just to save our sore fingers? --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmission</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Commencing</font>]]''''']</small> 14:45, 10 November 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330
[[Forum:Designations|This proposal]] which proposed to rename this article to '''M41 rocket launcher''' is more or less being put into effect now, so I will rename the article accordingly. Unless there are any objections?--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 15:54, 10 November 2013 (EST)
:I guess not, since the proposal already passed. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 22:33, 10 November 2013 (EST)
==Formal Name?==
Shouldn't the formal name (and thus page name) be the M41 Rocket Launcher? It seems unprofessional to name it by it's secondary nickname.[[User:The Ragin Pagan|The Ragin Pagan]] ([[User talk:The Ragin Pagan|talk]]) 02:17, 19 February 2018 (EST)
