This is just a thought-I know you,as in the people writing these entries, are well familiar with the various time periods and versions.However, some of our newer,perhaps younger viewers(and the almost alzheimary ones like me),might benefit from a clear "Hey-this is the time period/version this article applies to".I'll admit the main reason I know some this stuff is only because I've seen it from the engine to the caboose-well,it don't really have a caboose-prolly never will-but you know what I mean.Someone brand new to the game looking set up a campaign might find it a little frustrating (this cosa nostra we have)-since I figure we're kind of doing this for them anyway-right?  [[User:Foss Altus|Foss Altus]] ([[User talk:Foss Altus|talk]]) 06:54, November 30, 2012 (UTC)

New Traveller[edit]

I think it is time to fix the “New Traveller” label for Mongoose Traveller 2e.

  • It never caught on as the label for MgT2e
  • Things labeled New will age out of that label

And finally

  • This is the only place I have seen MgT2e called “New Traveller”

What say the other editors?
