There's a long history about the name "Usean Continental War". The fact is, this name was fan-made, whether by the wiki or by other fans elsewhere. We used to use it to refer to the AC04 war, but then AC3D used it to refer to the AC2 war, which forced us to rename the AC04 war to "Second Usean Continental War".

Anything that ends in "Usean Continental War" was fan-made and simply spread by its continued use on Acepedia.

According to numerous official sources, the AC2 war is referred to as simply the "coup d'etat" and Kono just confirmed for us that there is no other official term for it. Official sources have also called the AC04 war as simply the "Continental War".

The reason this discussion is coming up now is because the new Famitsu scans for AC7 re-confirm that the AC04 war is the "Continental War", and even says that the AC7 war is now the "Second Continental War" (or "Lighthouse War"). As I was typing this, Bandai Namco Europe even tweeted out that the AC7 war is the "Second Usean Continental War".

Side note, the Famitsu scans also confirmed a canon name for the AC3 war: the Inter-Company War.

'''I propose the following. Please reply if you agree or disagree with this proposal, and why.'''


 * Rename the AC2 war to the PARTIALLY FAN-MADE term "Usean coup d'etat", since "coup d'etat" is too generic for the page.
 * Rename the AC3 war to the OFFICIAL term "Inter-Company War" with references.
 * Rename the AC04 war to the OFFICIAL term "Continental War" with references.
 * Maintain the AC7 war as the OFFICIAL term "Lighthouse War" with references, while also mentioning "Second Continental War" and "Second Usean Continental War" as alternate names with references.

Please reply if you agree or disagree with this proposal, and why.

If the general consensus of the wiki is Agree by June 16, then we will put this proposal into action.
