Forum:The Names of Articles


 * Yes, and we must do the former option. We can't only have the full name in the origin section, if it is within KH canon. 19:58, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed. - 20:12, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * In my experience, unless we're actually keeping strict track of how many times each name appears, "most common name" is prone to argumentation, especially for ties or minor names. I would recommend instead using the most recent name -- including remakes in that, meaning KH II.5 should be the most recent source of names. 14:14, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree. Especially since KH1 has some pretty strange names, like the Mystery Goo, for example. Besides, due to HD2.5, none of the Heartless that got renamed in Days are the most recent. 17:51, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

So, under that proposal, is it "Fa Mulan"? -- 17:23, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, and the reason why I think it's critical to not just use the "journal name" is because of stuff like Jack Sparrow/Jack Skellington, or The King/Mickey Mouse. Dropping titles or nicknames is acceptable because of pile-up, but if we have an official given and family name, it only saves us trouble in the long run to use both. Beat is an edge case where the alternate name wouldn't still be in the title (Leon is in Leonhart, Mulan is in Fa Mulan, etc.), and a redirect should be sufficient to satisfy that -- if absolutely necessary for ease of readership, we could move the article to "Daisukenojo 'Beat' Bito", but in my opinion that would open the door to throwing every other alternate name into a long "alias" pile-up in the article title. If we're okay with relaxing the standards on that one page, I'm okay with it, but I would strongly prefer all other articles to use the 'legal' names. 18:13, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I have a personal preference for the journal names, but this is fine. My one wish is to stress the need to update this policy in the MoS accordingly, if necessary. - 21:18, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
