Discussion
Please, discuss about the scope without discussing at this stage about the current or future topic naming.
- Please, read this disambiguation page before commenting. — SH4ever (talk) 17:34, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
- Support. This follows the current most important subject of the pages instead of the current naming. (A discussion about titles will come later). This categorization is already mostly respected. It allows the distinction between the topics sharing the same name. Each topic can have enough space to be developed and its multiple aspects. — SH4ever (talk) 17:01, 9 June 2021 (UTC) and 15:51, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
HDR pages's title
Wikipedia title requirements
Wikipedia ask for:
- Recognizability – The title is a name or description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize.
- Naturalness – The title is one that readers are likely to look or search for and that editors would naturally use to link to the article from other articles. Such a title usually conveys what the subject is actually called in English.
- Precision – The title unambiguously identifies the article's subject and distinguishes it from other subjects. (See § Precision and disambiguation, below.)
- Conciseness – The title is no longer than necessary to identify the article's subject and distinguish it from other subjects. (See § Conciseness, below.)
- Consistency – The title is consistent with the pattern of similar articles' titles. Many of these patterns are listed (and linked) as topic-specific naming conventions on article titles, in the box above.

Title propositions
Before starting the discussion, I invite you to read the explanation I have wrote about HDR's multiple meanings and writing.
Discussion 1: Stop using option 1
If you rode my explanation, you should understand why I believe there is no discussion over the fact that we should stop using option 1.
They are a lot of misconceptions about HDR. ITU gives some example here. ITU is a far more reliable source than most websites. Option 1 is based on misconceptions and is spreading them. It has created a mess on Wikipedia. Peaople do not know where is the right page to go. The pages dicuss topics that do not belong to them. There are so much Wikilinks that target the wrong page. Cleaning up all of that has become a time consuming nightmare. I tried to do my best but there is so much more work to do.
I totally oppose to the use of option 1.

My main reasons for stoping to use "high dynamic range video" as the title of page C<nowiki> are the fact that this contradicts current Wikipedia pages and also outside sources. Here are evidences and explanation. — SH4ever (talk) 00:45, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

— Page C
The page-C-HDR technology is more common for video but if you read the page, you can see that its subject really is the same technology that can also be used for other than video. In addition to that, not all HDR video belong to the technology discussed in page C.
It's expected that in a near future, all future high-end smartphones will have that capability for video which I refer to the "HDR technique" as page-B-HDR is a technique while the page-C-HDR technology is a way of representing the color and the luminance of images, not a technique. Hope that make things clear. — SH4ever (talk) 00:44, 11 June 2021 (UTC) |
Discussion 2: What titles should we use?
Now that we have ditched option 1, we can discuss about other options. Put up your opinion about option 2 and option 3 or propose new options.
The goal: Find which title meet Wikipedia's requirements the best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SH4ever (talk • contribs)
- I didn't realized we had decided to ditch option 1. It doesn't seem that bad to me, even if the titles don't precide delineate the contents. Option 2 seems nutty, with its over-capitalization and complicated parentheticals. Option 3 or something like it might be OK if that's how we agree the content splits up, but I think it would be better to expand the acronym to the hyphenated compound modifier like we use in option 1 presently.
