Talk:Crush

Different name

A different name for the page could be Physical Force, so that both crushing and stabbing could fall into the same category. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.93.54.135 • (talk) • (contribs)

Hm, that's not specific enough. It could make players think this also applies to getting knocked back by shaking, for instance, or apply to a punch, or something. — {Espyo^T} 14:55, December 1, 2021 (EST)

Different different name

Maybe this would be inconsistent with some other pages, but would it be considerable to think about renaming this page to Crushing? I feel like Crush doesn't sum it up as a hazard and made me originally think it had some relation to the Crush Nugget (but that's probably just me). Like, in a conversation, you'd say "Crushing is a hazard", not "Crush is a hazard", at least in my mind. Would this be something to ruminate on? Deeb1324354657 (talk) 00:30, August 9, 2024 (EDT)

As a general rule it's a good idea to follow Wikipedia's style. In it, it says to use nouns instead of verbs, which we do for stuff like whistle (not "whistling"), punch (not "punching"), combat (not "fighting"). It also says sometimes the noun corresponding to a verb is just the verb's gerund. So with all of that, I think "Crushing" would indeed by the right way to name this. On the other hand, we have our own policies, which says to use the infinitive instead of the gerund. Maybe we should instead change the policy? — {Espyo^T} 12:00, August 11, 2024 (EDT)
