Title Ambiguity, (CW)?[]

The CW in the title needs full characterization as it is not self explanatory. It's inappropriate to abbreviate without reference especially for titling purposes. It took me a minute to get CW = Capital Wasteland. If someone came to this page without being familiar with in-game terms and references they would not get the connection. The use of 'CW' and other abbreviated terms is fine in the talk pages, but lacks the conciseness needed on the main page. If used at all, abbreviations should be preceded by at least one initial use of the full term or be paired with a hyper link to its definition.69.204.11.122 01:47, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree with this guy from 5 years ago ahaha. The only reason I came to this page is because I wanted to know what CW meant; that's not our normal tag so surely that should be changed to Fallout 3? Or at least an explination in the lead section, perhaps a {{for}} tag with a link to the other one saying this is the page for the capital wasteland one explicitly? -- GOTW User | Talk 18:55, January 18, 2014 (UTC)

Agreed, gonna change it now. -Peace'n Hugs (talk) (blog) 19:26, January 19, 2014 (UTC)
After checking, I can't find a single other location named the 'Flooded Metro'. What's more note-worthy at the moment is that there is not another article-page on Nukapedia titled the 'Flooded Metro'. So the inappropriate abbreviation will be removed (for those reading here and possibly interested, one only uses abbreviations properly after the word itself has been spelled out earlier for clarification).
