Forum:CT Archive/Mon Calamari (planet) or Dac?

Wookieepedia &gt; Consensus track &gt; 

Proposal
Currently, Mon Calamari (planet) redirects to Dac, and some (but not all) references to the planet say Dac in their links. This is confusing for users trying to find information out about the planet, which is only called "Dac" in a handful of obscure sources.

I contend that "Dac" should be moved to "Mon Calamari (planet)." Barring that, at the very least, intertextual links should at least show "Mon Calamari" and point to Dac.

Reasons to move:

 * Mon Calamari is its official basic name.
 * Mon Calamari is how it's known to most Star Wars fans.
 * Mon Calamari is how it's referred to in the vast majority of sources.
 * Daniel Wallace, who brought the term "Dac" back into continuity in Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds, has gone on record stating he thinks using Dac as the primary term is a bad idea (his opinion is spread over several posts, beginning here).

Reasons to not move:

 * Dac is the name used in the native languages of the planet.
 * Dac does not require an awkward (planet) disambiguator in its title.

Move to Mon Calamari (planet)

 * 1) Support. It's Mon Calamari in Basic, so that's where it should be here. jSarek 02:41, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
