Talk:War against the Iron Horde/@comment-6335668-20141028110321/@comment-6335668-20141115035223

No, but Iron War isn't particularly vague. If it has an in-game name, we should obviously use that instead of either name. The real concern is that, let's be honest 'War against the Iron Horde' is a clumsy bit of wording and we're stuck with it only as a legacy of the War against the Lich King - which is also, by the by, not an official name (it's called that, in total, once in the same way we might say that, for a story in WW2, 'the war against the Axis' or how the Second Gulf War/Iraq War has been called the 'war against Iraq'). We should be going for names that are simple, memorable, and relatable to the conflict, and I think Iron War satisfies those criteria.

What we have now, solely as a legacy of a Wowpedia decision based on two no-longer extant pages and an announcement trailer, is a continuing tradition of clumsy and overly wordy naming - which is also why we have an 'Alliance-Horde War' page instead of a 'Fourth War'. We are not, and should not allow ourselves to be, bound by the decisions of the Wowpedia authors.
