Tree page titles
There's now an inconsistency in the page titles – oak vs jungle tree. I think all should be moved to "X tree".  Nixinova   T   C  20:27, 6 November 2020 (UTC)


 * There is no inconsistency. The common English usage when referring to any non-fruiting tree is simply to call it by its name without adding the redundant "tree" to it: "That's an oak, that's a pine, over there is an elm, and this is a birch" and so on.


 * Fruiting trees would have the word "tree" appended, as in apple tree, peach tree, almond tree, etc. While Minecraft has fruiting trees, they are not named for their fruit, so this doesn't apply.


 * One also adds "tree" if referring to the tree by its environment; for example, "that's a desert tree, this is a northern-latitude tree, and over there is a jungle tree."


 * The only tree in the game named after its environment is the jungle tree, so that's the name it should have. As for the rest, I didn't create those titles, they all already redirected to Tree. I don't see any inconsistency. Amatulic (talk) 21:59, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
