It's clear that the challenge is called "Open" because it's the opening challenge, not because of the challenge itself.

And I recall you've had issues with challenge names before, so we should talk this over as a group. It'll say it's more than either of the Race to Shore challenges (or should they be called that since they're never referred to as such by CBS, and I can't find their videos using the Wayback Machine) got in Game Changers and HvHvH.

I assume you're referring me going through the recurring challenges and noticing that our naming conventions were not at all consistent.

There were three ways that recurring challenges were named:
 * By first appearance.
 * By most common name.
 * Or the challenge's most recent name, if the challenge name is changed every season.
 * (Of course there are some exceptions, such as Sumo at Sea, which as never been referred to as Survivor Sumo at any point.)

If a challenge is referred equal times by a specific name, which name takes precedence? For example Splash Back has been referred to twice as I Hold On and Back Splash, which name gets precedence? Also, since Sea Legs has been called Bermuda Triangle(s) in at least four of seven seasons its been used, why wasn't that challenge under that name?

If a challenge's name is changed in most of its appearances, such as Q and A and Squared Off why was its most recent? Surely the other names the challenge has been called are of equal merit. If the challenge's name is constantly changing, and we decided on the most recent name, we'd have to move the page and relink and pages that link to the new page. Even if we used redirects, if a challenge is used a lot, such as Q and A, we'd basically have a bunch of nested redirects, which could get annoying.

Though the reason I was doing this is to be consistent with newer recurring challenge pages, as they're beeing created with the original challenge name, such as Dragging the River and This Much, as it's the only name we have for them, until CBS releases its episode recap with the challenge's name until a day later, and we don't know in the future if challenges with the same mechanics will at all differ in name or not. If our newer pages are under this standard, so should the older pages.
