Stephen (havan) | 330 comments There are three books that have their settings listed as Yukon Territory. There are 10 books that have their settings listed as Yukon.

Personally, I've only ever heard it called Yukon Territory.

I'm assuming that we want the settings link to be as useful as possible and bring up all 13 books.

Which way should these be listed?

Should all 13 books have both?
Should the three be changed to agree with the majority?
Should the 10 be changed to agree with what is most likely more proper?
Please advise.

From Wikipedia but cited to this legal document.
