I've seen this debate before, specifically on the Doom Wiki. The final boss of Doom 1 was renamed from "Spiderdemon" to "Spider Mastermind" when it reappeared in Doom 2. Doom Wiki decided that their wiki policy was that articles would be named after the earliest name, in this case Spiderdemon. Now we have this debate again in the Smash Wiki. Will we stick to the earliest name out of principle? The most recent name? Will we pick the name that Nintendo declares is official? Most likely not that last one, given how many other articles are referred to by their most common fandom name (Tech over Breakfall, L-Cancel over Smooth Landing) so will we use that as the policy going forward?

And yes, I did read the article you linked. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like it will help us, because now we have two official names instead of an official-vs-fanname. So, are we going to be like Doom Wiki and use the earliest official? [[Special:Contributions/99.46.176.64|99.46.176.64]] 15:33, 23 July 2018 (EDT) | ||
