I understand a desire for simplicity, but I do not entirely agree with altering long-standing name, volume and numbering patterns/conventions simply for simplicity's sake. However, while I'm wary of changing that, I do agree there needs to be talks of how we adopt the editorial changes from Marvel concerning things like the Uncanny X-Men issues and other sorts, especially when it goes against the original indica.

In keeping with the indica naming source, I do agree that all those short-run series mentioned in the third point (especially Blade and Punisher) need to be name-checked for accuracy. I know for a fact multiple Punisher limited-runs here have been moved back and forth, creating a lot of legwork and inconsistent naming patterns. And along with the Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man volumes, there's also Cloak and Dagger Vol 3, which has been the subject of debate before over the cover title and indica title being different, and then changing halfway through the run.

I suppose the main question comes down to whether we want to be most accurate with our naming conventions, or the most interface-friendly. If we can find a way to be accurate while still maintaining healthy interface, such as the redirects suggested by Annabell, I think we can find a good consensus on that.
