Around a year ago we first released the prototype of a web-based application with a code name WikiLoop "Battlefield". We are happy to see many Wikipedians found it useful in screening and checking the potential vandalism or quality issue with incoming revisions. As of now, [[:en:WP:WikiLoop_Battlefield|WikiLoop "Battlefield"]] supports 11 languages, and has seen contributions from 243 logged users who reviewed 63K edits across language version Wikipedias. We think it's a good time to finalize the new name. 

While we continue to make functional improvements, we received feedback from multiple community members that the code-name "battlefield" has an annotation of "war-themed", and could potentially be misinterpreted to be military-related or triggering edit-war. And we agree it's a good idea to change the name. We launch a brainstorming request on [[:en:Wikipedia_talk:WikiLoop_Battlefield#Brainstorm to replace the name "Battlefield"]] and received ~35 names. Thank you!

We hope that the new short list of possible names help to identify this tool's characters:
* A review tool for Wikipedia and its sister project
* It's Easy to use for everyone, both logged in and anonymous users, and
* Creates a friendly atmosphere for collaboration.

We greatly appreciate {{ping|Sadads}}, {{ping|Xinbenlv}}, {{ping|ElanHR}}, {{ping|Nizil Shah}}, {{ping|ToBeFree}}, {{ping|Nick Moyes}}, {{ping|FULBERT}}, {{ping|CAPTAIN MEDUSA}}, {{ping|L3X1}}, {{ping|OxonAlex}}, {{ping|Orphan Wiki}}, {{ping|Alexcalamaro}}, {{ping|Rhododendrites}}, {{ping|SJ}}, {{ping|FULBERT}}, {{ping|RedRage132}} for providing naming ideas.

== Final list of name candidates ==
We carefully considered the following factors when choosing the finalist:
* We want to avoid any names featuring "war" or "military" theme, which is one of the main reasons we want to change its current name.
* While we initially think this tool is mainly to review vandalism, given that the majority edits on Wikipedia are not vandalism, but constructive contributions, we like to neutralize the tone of name so that it's for more general review than merely to find out vandalism. 
* We want to avoid any names that have a strong authoritative sense or administrative enforcement, but try to feature community citizenship and helping, such as patrol, admin, ban, etc.
* We want to take into consideration the name is easy to understand when translated into other languages, so we want to avoid slangs or terms that are specific to english (the language that this discussion is taking place)

We picked 3 names for the finalist:

* '''WikiLoop WikiTag''': Featuring the fact everyone can tag, hence "wiki"-tag (official brand '''WikiLoop ¡WikiTag!''' in languages that support "¡").
* '''WikiLoop DoubleCheck''': Featuring people can cross check each other to collaboratively improve the quality of Wikipedia.
* '''WikiLoop SecOp''': Featuring people can cross each other to collaboratively improve the quality of Wikipedia.

Everyone eligible can vote for '''a maximum of two options''' from the following 3 finalists.
