Doppleganger vs Doppelganger

Doppleganger vs Doppelganger

In the game, the skill is spelled "Doppleganger." Even in the description is is spelled with the "le". Should this be moved to that name or kept here?

Nexon's notorious typos have fked everything up once again.

 

So the question is now... Should we reflect based on game?

For things like the name, yes.

Before you go screaming at Nexon's "notorious typos", consider that more people use "doppleganger" than "doppelganger". Including some dictionaries.

Technically, it's spelled "doppelganger", at least according to merriam-webster.

Because of the way things are, just go with "doppleganger" and leave a redirect for the other page.

It's a word of German roots, and doppel means double in German whereas dopple is a typo (or at least an Anglicization of doppel). Unless of course the spelling was different to differentiate between skill/monster.

It's like Gray and Grey, Nexon has that usage spread all over the place when it "should" (according to region) be Gray (to be consistent)

Bump. Doesn't seem like Nexon's going to fix their dumb spelling mistake anytime soon. Should we move it?

We have a redirect, so in either situation, the user will get the correct skill page. Might as well leave it as it is.

Well you should have the name of the page being the correct name ingame.

I'm updating my skills box and the name of the page here actually really confused me, since the name is spelt Doppleganger in-game. Could this topic maybe be looked at once more?

I'd prefer the in-game spelling if possible, but someone could also go make a thread on the nexon bug and glitch forums and post about it to see if they would forward it, if there isn't a thread already.
