{{TheSilentHero|time=22:07, 29 December 2014 (UTC)|mac=I believe the Wiki policy is to use the most recent game's name, which is BBS in this case.}} | {{TheSilentHero|time=22:07, 29 December 2014 (UTC)|mac=I believe the Wiki policy is to use the most recent game's name, which is BBS in this case.}} | ||
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 00:01, 30 December 2014 (UTC)|default=Actually, I believe we are required to use the most stable name that the games provide, which generally is the name that is used most, not particularly the most recent.}} | {{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 00:01, 30 December 2014 (UTC)|default=Actually, I believe we are required to use the most stable name that the games provide, which generally is the name that is used most, not particularly the most recent.}} | ||
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=00:13, 30 December 2014 (UTC)|text=No, actually, the Manual of Style says we use the first name provided, if the games have changed the subject's name. | |||
:''"If the official name of a subject has been changed in later episodes of Kingdom Hearts, please use the first name. However, redirects can be made using the later names."'' | |||
Unless I'm wrong, and the Manual of Style needs to be updated (which, it probably does anyways).}} | |||
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 00:19, 30 December 2014 (UTC)|confused=Then, I concur. I am satisfied with what you quoted from the MoS.}} | |||
{{ENX|text=The Manual of Style is severely in need of updating, yes. The policy from the MoS refers to subjects with multiple names, like the Rabid Dog ("Snapper Dog" in ''358/2 Days''). So Smee does not necessarily fit that. Still, as I said and FifteenthMember said, whichever name is the most "stable" (the one used in the game most often) is the one we should use.}} | |||
