Talk:List of demoscene groups
==Use of 'the' in names==
Hi. I just stumbled across this page while searching for demogroup articles to fix links in [[Amiga demos]]. I noticed you have several groups whose names begin with 'the' listed under 'T'. Since initial 'the' is so common, it's usually ignored (or placed after the rest of the name) for collation purposes, so I think these should be moved to their appropriate places for the second word. What do you think?

Also, can anyone confirm or deny the presence of 'the' in certain names, especially for dangling links like [[The Silents]]? I would like links in different articles to be consistent. Thanks. [[User:Ddawson|Ddawson]] 18:05, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

* Considering that it's also in the acronyms (The Black Lotus -> TBL, The Silents -> TSL, ...), I assume that in most cases, it is part of the name. // [[User:Gargaj|Gargaj]] 11:56, 2005 August 26 (UTC)

* This is not entirely true, since The Silents were known on the PC platform mostly as Silents PC (without the "the"-prefix). Nmrd 19:28, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

== Incorrect links ==

I was going through the links and found a couple that are wrong/questionable. One was [[Rebels]], which redirects to [[Rebellion]] -- clearly ''not'' a demogroup. However, I found [[REBELS]] in [[Chiptune]], so I changed the link here to match.

The other is [[Darkage]]. That article is about a band; there is no mention of the demoscene. But maybe they were into the demoscene at one time? I don't know. So I put a comment next to the link. If they ''were'' into the demoscene, someone needs to add that information to the Darkage article; otherwise, change the link to <code><nowiki>[[Darkage (demogroup)|Darkage]]</nowiki></code>.

== Where should the names link to? ==

The current list is a mixed bag between links to external websites and articles. Perhaps they should all point to articles and have an additional weblink mentioned if it exists? Also, some groups have the (demogroup) suffix in their name, others have not. Perhaps they should all get them to avoid (future) confusion? Nmrd 19:33, 18 October 2005 (UTC)⏎
:I think the original plan was ... link any group that has a wikipage within the wiki... anyone that doesnt external link them. &nbsp;[[User:Alkivar|<font color="#FA8605">'''ALKIVAR'''</font>]][[User_talk:Alkivar|&trade;]][[Image:Radioactive.png|18px|]] 20:25, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
