Attraction Clarifications
SUPER|brie+ is by far the best cheese to use in a variety of environments, not only in those found in Gnawnia. Its 99% attraction rate holds true for virtually all mice except those most often found in the Mousoleum (Ghost, Vampire, etc), as well as the obvious exceptions of the Furoma master mice. In addition to boosting attraction rate, SUPER|brie+ also slightly increases the odds of encountering many mice such as burglars, black widows, furoma students and prize mice. ~~Dave Vanderburg
Article title
Since we can't use "|" in article titles, should we move this to Super Brie so the title isn't incorrect? Both names are used in-game, and "Super Brie" seems to be more frequent. Just a thought. Revengeance 14:28, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- Absolutely not. This is as close to correct (according to what you pay cold, hard cash for) as possible. Why make it much less correct by changing the caps, removing the +, etc.? Super Brie already redirects to this page, and whatever link is used should be piped to use the correct name anyway, so it makes little sense to change it. -- B.Rossow talkcontr 14:38, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- You know as well as I do how inconsistent the names of things can be. The Inventory says "Super Brie" yet its description says "SUPER|brie+", for one example. I'd just thought it would make more sense to correctly label the article by the simpler one of its two names instead of the one with a vertical bar, which has caused the title to be grammatically incorrect.

- Grammatically incorrect? I don't get that comment. As for the inconsistency, yes, it's there and it's frustrating. However, "SUPER|brie+" is clearly the correct form and anything else, presented in-game or not, is a shorthand version. The bottom line, IMHO, is that we should strive to be as accurate as possible within the confines of technical limitations. Wiki software prevents the use of the pipe character in the article name, but that doesn't mean we should go whole-hog and change the official article name to something other than what was originally presented as the true, correct spelling of the cheese. Besides, what possible purpose could it serve? Change for the sake of change? As a nod to the inaccuracy in the page name, I added a note at the top of the page regarding the spelling of the page name, like Wikipedia does for articles that have a pipe character in the correct name (see this Wikipedia template and pages that link to it). Doesn't seem necessary to me, but it acknowledges and explains the issue to eliminate confusion and, I hope, can make this a non-issue. In a nutshell, I feel that changing the page name would not only be wrong in more ways than one, but it also would create a LOT of work changing all the pages that link to the current name and for absolutely ZERO gain. Because of various redirects and countless links throughout the site, no one will have trouble finding this page under the current, most correct name. -- B.Rossow talkcontr 14:48, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
- Woah, you didn't have to make a mountain out of a molehill... "Grammatically incorrect" was referring to the replacement of the vertical bar with a space. It's inconsistent with MH. Just wondering, what makes SUPER|brie+ so "correct" in your mind when there's clearly two alternative names? Revengeance 18:20, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
