A new discussion! So I notice we appear to have slightly conflicting policies regarding character names. Currently Lore Chars get no title, NPCs do - but what happens when something falls into both categories? My thoughts are the NPC part takes precedence. That way we only ever use the most up to date titles, if any. 18:23, 27 February 2007 (EST) This is an old discussion, but does a minor NPC whose full name is known, but also has a title in their NPC name, ever not get moved to a page that omits the title? I am seeing a lot of that.-- 21:44, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

I don't really care what variation the article is named, as long as i end up at the right article, directly or redirectly, heh. I see no reason why this can't be done. But, if you're going to go with the above, then atleast remove the lore version so a lack of titles aren't enforced on non-NPCs. Think it's fine to use a probable title for lore characters. --Zealtalkcontrweb 18:50, 27 February 2007 (EST) My opinion is we should go with a character's full lore name, that is a name that will be mentioned in an article, novel, quest log, or other source of lore. That is for example, instead of "Mekgineer Thermaplugg" we should go with his full name, "Sicco Thermaplugg", or "Mekgineer Sicco Thermaplugg". The NPC title can redirect into the lore name. Whereas in the case of minor characters that do not have full names, we can fall back on the NPC title instead, for lack of having a more accurate name.Baggins 22:40, 27 February 2007 (EST) This is an old discussion, but does a minor NPC whose full name is known, but also has a title in their NPC name, ever not get moved to a page that omits the title?
