Template talk:Title

I'm not entirely sure we need this. It will just mess up the pages it is on. And add another category we don't need. There are too many topics this could apply to. Almost to the point that it will get repetitive and redundant. 23:43, January 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * You think so? Most of the enemies and characters have official names, and others like Cucco Lady and Running Man might be spared this template for having their given titles mentioned somewhere in the game. What we really need this for is things like Dexivine, when we get around to creating the article, unless you think we should just put a note at the top of the page or something.

 * A simple note should be all. And that is when we are 100% sure that there is no name for it. There are a lot that might be considered to be that way. Either way, the template is fairly pointless. 03:12, January 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * Saves the trouble of putting notes on dozens of pages. To be sure, there are quite a lot of articles with conjectural or fan names. Seems like the real reason we don't want to use it on all of them is just because there are so many of them. Y'know though, it might've been nice if this had been brought up before the template was created.... Jimbo Jambo 03:23, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * You both make valid points, and these were the same things that entered my mind before I created the template. I made it to spark off this kind of debate, so that everyone can get involved in this wide-reaching issue and decide how best, if at all, it should be tackled. It didn't seem right to me to limit the discussion to the one taking place over Dexivine, since it's clearly a widespread issue of which that article is just one example. 20:22, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Now I feel like a jerk for being so sarcastic knowing Adam had actually anticipated this. Sorry Matt, I'm just being sour because discussions going ignored or being dropped isn't exactly a new experience for me. Jimbo Jambo 20:36, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

The page titles are best guess and are sometimes a description of the subject. There is nothing wrong with that when no other name is given. This templates is entirely unnecessary. I'm putting it up for deletion. 21:36, March 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * "Best guesses" do not fly on anything but fanon wikis. Just like we have the theory template to distinguish fact from speculation within the bodies of articles, we should have some kind of template or note so the reader isn't mislead into thinking that certain article titles are official names.

 * OK, so are we going to implement or delete this? More than 3 opinions would be good, so maybe a poll is in order? 12:43, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think that we should have to brand pages that are unclear about titles. Just try to name them the best of our ability, and if their are contradictory names, list them. Even if the name has not been officially announced, we could mention that. I think these templates though make it look sorta ugly. We should delete the template. Mases 16:29, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Well it wasn't deleted and is still marked so I'm assuming this has gone nowhere. My take on it is that it's good to have the FanNames like Pengator & Eyefish marked so that we can find them if Nintendo reuses the unnamed monster and names it in a later title, then it will be an easy fix for us. As far as it being ugly. I have no advice :S 05:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I hereby name this template completely useless. If something has no official name, Nintendo sure won't tell us what it is. This template accomplishes nothing more than cluttering up pages with useless nonsense at the top of pages. Deleting. 00:17, August 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree, and alot of things are fan given, but are also named in guides, and not everyone would know that as not everyone is going to have the official Nintendo guide. 00:20, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
