Result: "Plot" is to be used instead of "Storyline" for sections about the article's story
I'm curious as to whether or not the community thinks that the headers of sections about a game (or anything else)'s "storyline" should be entitled "Plot" or "Storyline" or something entirely different. Personally, I prefer the former, and I want all the articles to have the same header title for consistency reasons.

Personally, I don't think the choice of word matters much, but I do think we should have every article with the same layout. -- Murphyshane - ! Don't click here 07:25, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Plot: the plan or main story (as of a movie or literary work)

Story: an account of incidents or event

Looking at these definitions, i would say Plot is correct because Story describes what happens in a plot. SilverPlays97 (Wall) (Contributions) 14:52, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Although I agree with Murph that choice of words doesn't matter much, I believe "plot" sounds better and more accurate. -- Shadowunleashed13 (talk) 14:59, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

I'm also gonna go with plot. Lloyd the Cat"I don't die. I just go on adventures." 21:16, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

I think plot sounds as the better alternative. More limited to the story in the game.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 07:02, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Plot trumps storyline, it seems. Any objections to the closing of this forum? -- Shadowunleashed13 (talk) 23:12, June 23, 2013 (UTC)
