Forum for Golaxy
Should the name be "Galaxy", not "Golaxy"? [#6204]
In the English commentary of the 3rd game in the series against Leela Zero, Guochen said: "Sorry for the typo of Golaxy… It should be 'Galaxy'." (![[ext]](images/extlink.gif)

Note that in Chinese, the name is "星阵围棋" (lit. "Star Array Go"), so "Galaxy" makes more sense as a translation.
I don't know how to rename pages though.
Just from your linked page I see the icon they created was 'Golaxy'. From a single comment I'm not keen to rename it. Perhaps Uberdude or some other people will be back here and express an opinion. I have the ability to rename the page, just not the inclination to do so on my interpretation of the current information. Additional information will probably persuade me.
Looking at various places, such as http://sports.sina.com.cn/go/2018-04-23/doc-ifzqvvrz7515857.shtml, I think the name "Golaxy" is intended by the authors. Also, by looking at Google results, it seems that every other place is using the name "Golaxy". Therefore I am not inclined to do the page rename as requested either.
The name "Golaxy" can be seen as a corruption of the word "galaxy" so that the first two characters becomes "go".
Truuuuue. I can't believe I didn't realize that until now. "Go + Galaxy". Of course.
"o" and "a" are pretty far apart on the keyboard, so yeah, it's sort of unlikely that it was a typo.
Perhaps as a result of that comment though, I've seen it referred to as "Galaxy" instead of "Golaxy" in a few places like r/cbaduk and the Leela Zero repository. Maybe it's worth adding a comment on the page, something like "sometimes (mistakenly?) referred to as Galaxy"? For searchability.

Yes if using a QWERTY keyboard, which the majority of the people are using. However, "o" and "a" are next to each other if the keyboard uses the Dvorak layout. Nevertheless, a typo looks very unlikely in what appears to be the official logo of Golaxy.

Done.
Actually I find official information regarding both the company as well as the program hard to find. I was not able to locate even the company's official webpage, if they have any. If you know more, you can edit the page and add the information in.
