Yeah. At first, Mobage had no differentiation in naming between different versions of the same card. Then, they introduced a system for differentiating weapons moving forward but not retroactively. Finaly, the settled on the current system.

During the first system, we constructed our own name differentiation system. When Mobage started differentiating weapons, it was mostly in line with ours but there were a few conflicts.

With the introduction of the current system, there was a push to decide whether we would change over and, if so, whether it would be done retroactively. Doing so retroactively was considered because Mobage did the change retroactively. So some of the old card names changed rather than just a new system moving forward.

As someone who had spent much time building the database with the old system, I was set against the retroactive aspect of the changes. Not to mention that there are a few naming conflicts that have, to this day, still to be resolved. In one particular case, the new system does not accommodate certain characters and their signature weapons. If you want to know more, just let me know. However, I think I will leave the description there for now.

The tricky thing is that Speedo978* started making retroactive changes without consensus from the rest of us. Furthermore, he/she did a rather sloppy** job. That being said, there are a lot of pages and links that require repair as a result of his/her changes. In other words, it ended up doing more harm than good. Since you are probably tired of reading such a long post, I will end it here. Although, if you care to know more about anything regarding this wiki I'll be happy to share what I know.
