== L98A2? == | |||
A few questions about yoor addition of the L98A2 category, firstly are you sure that image is of an L98A2, as all examples I have seen have the newer full polymer A2 handguards. Secondly, which variant did you mean this to be, as the L98A2 is not manually opperated, it is semi only with the normal gas system. The manual gun is the L98A1. Lastly, what makes you think the guns in Blood Red Sky are L98A2s? The only difference would be the markings and lack of a selector which is not visible in any of the screenshots. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 05:23, 2 August 2021 (EDT) | |||

Does the firearm in this photo look like a CAA Roni SI1 or CAA Micro Roni, because the users who edited the article for the 2018 movie Rampage, said that the firearm, Urijah Faber was wielding was CAA Roni SI1, but I think it’s a CAA Micro Roni because of the rectangular hanguard, while the CAA Roni SI1 has a more rounded hndguard. What do you think? | |||
== Titles that begin with "The" == | |||
Regarding the titling of ''[[The Last of Us]]'' and ''[[The Last of Us Part II]]'', we recently changed IMFDB's rules on titling pages that begin with "The" (see [[IMFDB_Style_Guide|Style Guide]]); we no longer physically move the titles to have "The" placed at their ends. Instead, we make use of the DEFAULTSORT magic word (see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words MediaWiki] documentation) containing a "The"-relocated version of the title to fix their sortings. This way, the pages will be able to keep their actual real life titles (with "The" at the front), which makes wiki editing and other back end management easier. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 22:39, 24 August 2023 (UTC) | |||

A Question
Does the firearm in this photo look like a CAA Roni SI1 or CAA Micro Roni, because the users who edited the article for the 2018 movie Rampage, said that the firearm, Urijah Faber was wielding was CAA Roni SI1, but I think it’s a CAA Micro Roni because of the rectangular hanguard, while the CAA Roni SI1 has a more rounded hndguard.
