Hi all!

I'm an editor over on Halopedia, part of the group that's spearheading the Dune Wiki improvement drive! Most of our discussions are taking place on Discord, so I encourage you to join us there if you want to participate in these chats regularly: https://discord.gg/pEadJSM

We wanted to see how the entire community feels about renaming "Dune Wiki" to "Wiki of Dune"?

To be clear, none of us feel there is anything wrong with "Dune Wiki". The idea is to establish an identity that projects a bit of the Dune ethos into the site branding, similar to Wookieepedia, Bulbapedia, Memory Alpha, etc. The name is intended to riff on Dune titles like Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, etc.

Look forward to hearing what everyone thinks!

I support the wiki overhaul, but I'm indifferent on Dune Wiki vs. Wiki of Dune.

My Discord doesn't work, so I would appreciate it if we could still get updates on the conversation here on the wiki.

I'm not really in favor of this rename; I'd prefer to keep "Dune Wiki."

I'd still consider other rename options, "Wiki of Dune" just doesn't sound right to me.

!. There is nothing wrong with "Dune Wiki", I see no reason to change it.

2. Why follow the crowd with a name in the vein of Wookieepedia, Bulbapedia, etc. Keeping it "Dune Wiki", would be unique.

Renaming seems unnecessary. Don't fix what ain't broke. Also, using an "of" construct fails to riff on Dune titles for the simple reason that "of" this or that is so common.

Sounds like we'll stick with "Dune Wiki". :)
