Star Trek (arcade game) → Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator — This is the unambiguous full title of the work. Ham Pastrami (talk) 02:07, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

• Oppose. Policy is to prefer the common name. Andrewa (talk) 01:57, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
• Support. The common name might be different for each of us (the common name where I live was Star Trek: SOS). However there's a guideline that says "When there is another term or more complete name (such as Delta rocket instead of Delta) that is equally clear and unambiguous, that may be used." I think this rule should be applied here. --Krótki (talk) 08:18, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Request move again?

I mean it does have Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator printed right on the tin. And considering how many Trek games exist, it is odd this article has such a generic name.

Perhaps someone who understands Wikipedia could try this again? Maybe Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator (arcade game) (for google/SEO)?

Star Trek (arcade game) → Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator – There are several games named Star Trek, and on top of that this game was, and always has been referred to as Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator.

Support per WP:NATDAB. Also it's not just an arcade game. There's a number of ports that are all about as notable if not more. I have a mountain of sources for this one that I can start adding. Whipmywillows (talk) 17:44, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose, seems to me the best descriptor would be to keep 'arcade game' as that is universal and needs no further corollary. Halbared (talk) 09:00, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

  However, there are multiple Star Trek games named simply star trek, and considering this game in perticular has several console ports calling it an arcade game is not descriptive of the game as a whole Jazzy Jazz Jr (talk) 14:28, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

  To add to my point, this is like calling Star Wars: Dark Forcs Star Wars (MS-DOS game) even though it has a name. Also WP:NCDAB applies right? (im kinda new) Jazzy Jazz Jr (talk) 14:34, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

  Sorry for multiple replies but also, accrding to MobyGames, the title of simply Star Trek was only used for the 8-bit Atari version. Every other version (including the arcade) uses the full title Jazzy Jazz Jr (talk) 14:38, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

  No. According to MobyGames, several versions of the game, including the arcade original, omit the subtitle from the title screen - but all versions contain it on the packaging. --Krótki (talk) 03:38, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Support. WP:NATDAB applies here. Also there exist two other Star Trek arcade games, so the current disambiguation is slightly misleading. The "(arcade game)" descriptor is, contrary to what Halbared claimed, not universal here on Wikipedia - we universally use a "(19xx video game)" descriptor for disambiguation, and usage of "(arcade game)" is actually discouraged by WP:NCVGDAB. --Krótki (talk) 03:38, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
