| − | :The slash is meant to indicate a separation between normal and overhealed.

| − | ::I thought the slash format was just "original / different from original due to a specific condition", regardless if it has to do with health. You downright lost me on your second sentence. It wouldn't be inconsistent if the other class' pages underwent the same change. I see absolutely no difference between having the slashes and tooltips on the health and on the running speeds.

| − | ::::: I don't think it's clear at all and I want to know what evidence you have to prove your theory is more than speculation. Plenty of characters in comic fiction have been called thing like John Doe and the joke being everyone assumes its a false name, or film dirctors called Allan Smithie, and that turns out to be their real name. As far as I can see in tf2 no character ever says anything that hints the name is false, when the administrator talks to him she says Mr Doe not Mr "Doe" or any other way of showing a name is false. I know where the name comes from but as far as I can see the joke is the reveal that the hitherto unknown Soldier's real name is the same name given to unknown soldiers, and then gave him a female version just to add extra humour.

Irregardless of other examples you could pose, the fact still remains there is no reason we should lead readers to believing his name given in official media is an alias. We didn't know his name before the comic (unlike the TF2 is hat simulator thing) and Valve hasn't given us any reason to doubt it's his real name other than the name "Jane Doe" meaning something outside of TF2.

I find this change unnecessary and inconsistent, because it was only added to the classes that have many speed/health variants, and if it were added to the other class's pages it would be a table with one entry, which is unnecessary.
