Rename article to "Launch rate"

This article was created in 2009 when Melee and Brawl, the latest two Smash games, had a rule option with this name. Now, in 2018, the breakdown looks like this:

  • Super Smash Bros. Damage %
  • Super Smash Bros. Melee Damage Ratio
  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl Damage Ratio
  • Super Smash Bros. 4 Launch Rate
  • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Launch Rate

Since the name "launch rate" is actually accurate to the option's effect, and since the two most recent Smash games use this name, we should rename the article accordingly. We will delete the existing launch rate redirect, do the rename, and leave a redirect from "damage ratio" to "launch rate." SuperFalconBros (talk) 14:18, 11 September 2018 (EDT)

If nobody is opposed enough to reply here, I'm going to go ahead and do this. I'll fix page occurrences too. SuperFalconBros (talk) 10:27, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

While I Support the proposal, I'd like to point out that lack of interaction does not allow you to circumvent the consensus process. Please see the response I left you on your post on Serpent King's talk page. Alex the Jigglypuff trainer 12:16, 15 September 2018 (EDT)

It has been made clear to me that rather than inviting discussion on the deletion tag for the redirect, I should ensure consensus is reached on this page instead. So any other comments of support or opposition are welcomed. SuperFalconBros (talk) 01:48, 16 September 2018 (EDT)

Support the accurate terminology point is good enough for me. - EndGenuity (talk) 18:11, 16 September 2018 (EDT)

Capitalization redirect

"For misspellings and capitalization redirects: Redirects are not for idiot-proofing. [...] Additionally, capitalization redirects are generally pointless because the search feature will automatically fix any capitalization mistake made if a match is found."

There is absolutely no need to have both Damage Ratio and Damage ratio as redirects. If the official spelling has both words capitalized, then that one should be kept, and the other deleted, as it serves 0 purpose whatsoever. Alex the Jigglypuff trainer 17:28, 21 September 2018 (EDT)

"Damage Ratio" is the way it's spelled in Melee. "Damage ratio" is the title we had originally. There's your reasons. Serpent SKSig.png King 17:29, 21 September 2018 (EDT)
