Shall we rename now?

@David Fuchs, Dark Eagle, Prisencolin, Ferret, and Dissident93: Since our last discussion, an issue that prevented us from reaching consensus or moving forward with renaming this category, to make it broader, was that there has only been one Dota installment produced by Valve, as well as Defense of the Ancients. Now that there is another on the way, Artifact, should we look at renaming this to Category:Dota? DARTHBOTTO_talk•cont 05:01, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why not. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 05:10, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And, perhaps, we could look at creating a Dota series page, since this will be the third installment, with two retail products and one original mod. DARTHBOTTO_talk•cont 05:25, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Series pages are always tricky in that they often represent a bit of OR. In many cases, they are expanded disamb pages, rather than notable topics that are being directly discussed by sources. I'd wait on that for now. No issue with renaming the category. -- ferret (talk) 12:01, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I don't think we should go that far, for now. What would the page even consist of, copypasted elements from all three articles? ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 21:42, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose it will be an issue for another day. Unless there are serious objections, I will be moving this category by the end of the day. DARTHBOTTO_talk•cont 07:11, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
