Renaming This Awkwardly-Titled Page[edit]

While I've been cleaning up this hot mess of a page, I've been thinking about renaming it. (I adopted it after doing some pre-work on a similar page for Skyrim, and I have to agree with Neph's comments--the page name is really weird.) In that sandbox, Nephele suggested "Non-Random Magic Items" or "Guaranteed Magic Items" as titles for the Skyrim page, and I think we should consider one of those (or something else) as an alternative for this one too. Personally, I lean toward "Guaranteed Magic Items," as it seems somehow less confusing. Anybody else have any suggestions or preferences? eshetalk 18:11, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Something like "Fixed Loot" could also work. But I suppose that can be misinterpreted as well. I might get back to you later when I'm not so tired ~ Dwarfmp 18:17, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, I can just see it now--"Fixed? It was broken??" eshetalk 17:17, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Alright, I know a lot of people (via IRC) agreed that "Guaranteed Magic Items" is an improvement, but I came up with another idea. What about "Magic Items with Guaranteed Locations?" A similar title was suggested further up the page, but I would go with "Magic Items" over "Enchanted Items" for consistency (since we have Oblivion:Generic Magic Apparel and so forth instead of "Generic Enchanted Apparel"). How about that? Is "Magic Items with Guaranteed Locations" clear enough? eshetalk 14:33, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
That sounds good to me. It's a little lengthy, but I don't think this is a problem. ABCface 21:56, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

() Okay, I've just launched the new version of the page. I did make some tweaks to the content to reflect the impending title change, but I'm going to give people another day or two to chime in before I actually make the move. Thanks! eshetalk 19:17, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
