Forum:CT Archive/Article naming conventions

Wookieepedia &gt; Consensus track &gt; 

There have been several discussions going on regarding our article naming conventions; whether they should be names given at birth, names at time of death, or simply the most commonly known name. The previous consensus track page on this topic, Article Names: Real vs. Adopted, was formed from a discussion about Grievous' name, and resulted in a verdict of naming "articles based on the character's final or most widely known name." This is fundamentally flawed in that for many characters this is contradictory, i.e. their proper name at death is not what is most commonly known. Accordingly, the last consensus track verdict did not necessarily represent true community consensus in that some who voted for "Final/Most Well-Known Names" meant one specifically. Because what is decided here could affect much of our character naming policy (Aayla Secura, Jabba the Hutt, Thrawn, etc), it is important to get maximum community involvement.
