There was a discussion thread here: http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=2379
We talked about standardizing the pages for the heavy weapons. The reason I chose the exact name of this page is because it would then be finally standardized with other already existing pages:
2 cm Flak 38
3.7 cm Pak 35/36
5 cm Pak 38
7.5 cm Pak 40
This is why I chose the format. Now with your edits the standardization is gone again and everything was worthless what I did.....so can you please undo your edits?
I created the thread in the forums to disuss my changes and additions before I did anything because I KNEW there would be somebody who would disagree (this is ALWAYS the case here on this site). I know that people have different opinions but we have to settle for something sometimes otherwise we will never get any work done and edit those pages again and again and again.... so why didn't you want to leave it as I did it? It made sense, was standardized, I even started a discussion thread for this, it was the most common name used on the Internet and in discussion boards, so what is the reason you thought it would not be ok? I intend to add a lot more guns very soon so we HAVE to agree on a standardization...otherwise this will get a complete mess with every page getting edited a few minutes after I completed my work...
