Haunted companies and signs

There are a series of spooky posters on this map that are parodies of the regular posters. For instance "Cornhell" is a parody of Cornwell. I'm not sure if I should add these posters to this page, the Companies page, the Halloween References page, or give them their own page. Xikylo (talk) 19:35, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Ghost train

@GrampaSwood and @Yossef

I don't suppose the issue is forgetting that the undead "Train" prop scares as a Ghost.

A comment was made that there is no scaring Ghost on the map. But, I would argue that there is a ghost on the map; it happens to be in the form of a dearly-departed train, that scares like any other Ghost, but also happens to strangely retain the Train-kill (scared to death?) capability into the afterlife.

An alternative to the conjoined links "Ghost train" could be to put in a comma ("Ghost, Train"), because there is a ghost hazard on the map; or create a Ghost Train hazard on Environmental death.

I'd argue that, while the train does scare like a ghost, unless there's an actual ghost on the map the page should not claim there is a "ghost" hazard as it may confuse players (the first thing I think of when I see ghost would not be the train).

By your argument, just calling it a Train may confuse players ("the last thing I think of when I see Train is that it scares" (oh, wait, what does it look like?))

We could bother the developers to see if their intent that the prop be a Ghost and a Train. Sure, HHH scares and we don't call it a ghost, but it has its own page to explain it (not that Ghost Train should get a page).

Either way, there is a Scare hazard on the map; the developers called their scare hazard a Ghost Train; what are we going to call it?

Hazards: Ghost Train (kills like a Train and scares like a Ghost)

That is a bit wordy for an Infobox and redundant to both the Lead and Quote; I think "Ghost Train" says it succinctly, and the Lead any Quote clear up any imagined confusion with few words. I don't think the readers need any more spoon-feeding than that. The alternative is to make a Ghost Train hazard on Environmental death, but it would be nothing other than what is already in the Lead ( Oppose).

I'd personally prefer either just putting "Ghost train", or making a small section on the Train page talking about the functionality of the Ghost train and linking to that (perhaps using {{anchor}}).

  I agree with Gramps, we can use the compound word "Ghost Train" as one, and make it redirect it to Train. The Train article already features a picture of this maps Ghost Train already, so players will intuitively understand that the main function fo this hazard, is like the normal Train.
