Talk:Interface

While I think having the article is a very good thing, I think "Heads Up Display" isn't the preferred term in GW. We might keep it as redirect, but the terms used ingame and in the online manual are "Interface" (GUI) or simply "Screen". -- 21:08, 27 February 2006 (CST)


 * I agree. I much prefer "Game screen" or so. --Karlos 21:53, 27 February 2006 (CST)


 * For reference, the old Online Manual page in question can be found here. Again, "interface" and "screen" are the terms used here. I'd suggest we move the article to Interface, and leave possible alternative names as redirects. Okay? -- 22:37, 27 February 2006 (CST)


 * Also note that the category is called Category:User Interface. The names of the article and category should match. -- 00:44, 28 February 2006 (CST)


 * As a software guy, I'll tell you that "User Interface" is not just the screen, it's how the user interacts with the program. This is why command line parameters are listed there even though they are not "on the screen" per se. I prefer Screen or "Game Screen" because they are more user friendly terms than "Interface" which may not intuitively strike not-so-literate computer users as being the game screen. Game Screen is preferred to screen because it's more explicit in what it's referring to. --Karlos 09:36, 28 February 2006 (CST)


 * Game Screen sounds best to me. Clear, easy to understand, something even my technologically impaired mother could understand.  --Rainith 10:06, 28 February 2006 (CST)
