| − | In-game, this weapon is referred to as the Flame Thrower. -[[User:Shine|<font color="#666666">'''Shine'''</font>]] ({{mod}}) 15:47, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

| − | :{{c|Support|Weak support}}: My support for this is a little weaker, as Valve always refer to this as "Flamethrower" everywhere outside of the backpack. -- [[User:Pilk|Pilk]] <sub>([[User talk:Pilk|talk]])</sub> 16:01, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :{{c|Oppose}}: I much prefer Flamethrower. It's a real-life term that's used in-game and I have never heard anyone refer to it as a Flame thrower. Also, the backpack/items is the ONLY place where it is referred to as such, everywhere else is flamethrower --[[User:Firestorm|<font color="#FF6600"><tt><big><u>'''Firestorm'''</u></big></tt></font>]] {{mod}} 16:03, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

| − | :{{c|Oppose}}: Flamethrower works, and it is often reffered to as such. -- [[User:Smashman|Smashman...]] {{bur}} <sub>([[User_talk:Smashman|t]] • <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/smashman2004 s])</span></sub> 17:14, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

| − | :{{c|Support|Support}}: While "Flamethrower" is more correct, if Flame Thrower is the in-game name, that ''is'' what we should follow. -- [[User:Nineaxis|<span style="color:#FF8C00;font-weight:bold">Nineaxis</span>]] {{mod}} [[File:User Nineaxis sig duck.png|12px]] 17:21, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

| − | :: I just saw an tip on the loading screen which used "flame thrower", so the backpack name isn't the only place there is the space. -- [[User:Nineaxis|<span style="color:#FF8C00;font-weight:bold">Nineaxis</span>]] {{mod}} [[File:User Nineaxis sig duck.png|12px]] 22:18, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

| − | :{{c|Oppose}}: Valve refers to this as both the Flamethrower ''and'' the Flame Thrower, so this seems a bit unnecessary. Furthermore, as far as I can see, the TF2 community likes to refer to this weapon as the Flamethrower. -[[User:The Neotank|<font color="#FF8C00">'''The Neotank'''</font>]] ({{mod}}<small> | [[User talk:The Neotank|Talk]]</small>) [[File:User The Neotank Signeotank.jpg]] 22:30, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

| − | :{{C|Oppose}}: Flame Thrower sounds like fire breathing to me — [[User:WindPower|<span style="font-weight:bold;">Wind</span>]] {{adm}} 01:28, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

| − | :{{c|Support}}: If we change one weapon to match the in-game spelling, we have to do that for all of them. We can't pick and choose based on if we like it or not. It's inconsistent. -- [[User:En_Ex|En Ex]] {{bur}} <sub>([[User_talk:En_Ex|talk]])</sub> 02:09, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :{{c|Support|Support}}: I agree with Nineaxis. We have to document what the item name is in-game. The only reason I see the community and Valve using the correct term, is because that is on web pages/forums, so naturally it's not as solid as it is in-game. People likely don't pay attention when writing articles and forum posts, and probably just automatically type flamethrower, whereas other times, they may have made a mistake, or remembered the in-game title. At the end of the day, being a wiki for Team Fortress 2, I think it should be Flame Thrower till the in-game names change to reflect accuracy. The same applies for the other items.-- [[User:Benjamuffin|'''Benjamuffin''']] [[File:BenjamuffinSig.png|Om nom nom!]] 06:22, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

| − | :: It might be worth adding a trivia piece regardless of what is chosen. For example: if Flamethrower, "In-game the Flamethrower is titled Flame Thrower, regardless of this being incorrect in reality" and if Flame Thrower, "Though the item is titled Flame Thrower in-game, the correct term is Flamethrower". -- [[User:Benjamuffin|'''Benjamuffin''']] [[File:BenjamuffinSig.png|Om nom nom!]] 06:26, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

| − | :{{c|Oppose}}: Flame Thrower looks bizzare. One exception should not be the defined rule. [[User:Noizeblaze|Noizeblaze]] 17:15, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :{{c|Comment}}: How about having the article name be Flame_Thrower, but with DISPLAYTITLE Flamethrower? That way it's consistent URL-wise (works with item ID redirection script without redirects) but still displays the correct name for a weapon that spews flame — [[User:WindPower|<span style="font-weight:bold;">Wind</span>]] {{adm}} 17:45, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

| − | :::I think that's a bad idea. I've never been been a fan of DISPLAYTITLE. It definitely should not ads used on English pages.
