| :You're sticking your fingers in your ears again. The title is inaccurate. Beta only refers to one phase of development, you all know which one or probably don't because you're all not listening to reason. The erroneous use of beta as a synonym to refer to prerelease or unused content is likely an error which became mainspread not unlike a disease after some guy mislabeled some early/unused content. Two wrongs don't make a right. --[[User:Murabito|Murabito]] ([[User talk:Murabito|talk]]) 12:45, 18 September 2014 (EDT) | | :You're sticking your fingers in your ears again. The title is inaccurate.

| ::No it does not, the incorrect language is still incorrect. It only becomes "correct" because we have to cater to morons who don't do their research. It took 5 minutes to find the correct meaning of beta. But if this wikia wants to cater to illiterate shitheads, that's fine by me. We don't have to be the majority, we're allowed to refer to prerelease content by its correct title (unsuprisingly, prerelease), beta can be a redirect instead. --[[User:Murabito|Murabito]] ([[User talk:Murabito|talk]]) 12:59, 18 September 2014 (EDT)

| ::::Okay... I seriously understand what you're saying, and it does slightly frustrate me as well. But, as has been said, Language, in in itself, what it's speakers make of it. What the page title needs to be is something they will find and understand - practically every other site uses this term, which therefore makes it a form of slang. And, sadly, yes, we have to cater to people who don't do their research, because this is a '''wiki'''. Which means this is where they're doing research. Yes, we do have to cater to the majority.

| :::::Renaming the "beta element" articles to "development history of..." articles and making "beta elements" a redirect is not going to make it harder for a bunch of people who want to find out what the character select menu of Melee looked like earlier in development.[[User:Murabito|Murabito]] ([[User talk:Murabito|talk]]) 13:26, 18 September 2014 (EDT)

| :Hold up. Aggressiveness will get you nowhere here; it will only make things worse. When someone disagrees with you, it's not because they're not listening. Please consider what they have to say; if you feel they are wrong, state a valid reason instead of restating your view baselessly. If you cannot discuss this in a civil manner, you may need to take a break for a little while. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 14:27, 18 September 2014 (EDT)

| :As far as I can tell, the argument for renaming is that Murabito (and nobody else) considers the name to be incorrect and that the wiki as a whole is "stupid" to leave it as is, in spite of the fact that renaming it would have no effect on the actual content and was never offensive or even incorrect in the first place. If anything, it seems to me that the problem lies less with the article name and more with the user who feels like his personal preference override the consensus of the entire wiki. Such behavior is not conducive to productive editing, and as such I request that the issue be dropped at once. --[[User:Anothrgamer1234|Anothrgamer1234]] ([[User talk:Anothrgamer1234|talk]]) 15:55, 18 September 2014 (EDT)

| :::No, he's right. Only you want the name to be changed, and even if we did, it wouldn't change the content of the page whatsoever. There's no reason for a name change.

| ::Actually there is. The reason why noone is agreeing with me is because the admins don't agree so therefore you must all agree with them. Also because you've all been brainwashed into thinking beta is the correct term when it isn't. If you would just use the correct words for once in your lives this would have been resolved earlier.[[User:Murabito]] [[File:Villager SSB4.png|20px]] 18:07, 18 September 2014 (EDT)

| :::That's not why. We don't agree with admins because they're admins. We agree with them because we agree with them.

| :::If everyone is just following the admins and agreeing with them on everything, then why does the admin policy have [[SmashWiki:Administrators#Administrators are not kings|a section that explains why admins are not kings]]? Point is, almost everyone here agrees that there is no point in making such a big deal over a minor thing.

| '''Strong support'''. Kind of obscure title for something that a highly regarded source such as TCRF just calls "unused content".
