Template talk:Name

Well this existed before Template talk:Title, I'm in favor of having it, but you may want to shrink it, smaller text, smaller image and float it right to prevent it from being voted for deletion again. 00:05, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, what's the necessary coding to do that? Ganondorfdude11 00:22, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Nice job linking back to the old talk, Ax. Nothing has changed since the last one was deleted. Nintendo still isn't going to give us names of various unnamed things. This template is a waste of space on pages and is just one more thing for the software to process that it doesn't have to. Useless clutter on the page. If something doesn't have an official name, we're never going to get one. And technically a large number of articles would require this, far more than currently use it. It's a very pointless endeavor. 16:34, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think its a waste, but the word "conjectural" does imply that we will eventually get an official name. Perhaps we should change the wording to "fan title" or something - this is legitimate, it does help identify things that don't have names by letting users know that it is a fan-made title. 17:46, 4 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree, this needs to be deleted. I've always thought it was pretty much useless. 18:35, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I concur with Cip's assessment, it does serve some purpose, but I think the wording could be better. We have articles, several of them events or places without an official title, that do use this, but I have questioned the wording of it up to this point as well. Rather than "conjectural", why not use "unofficial"? As he said "conjectural" implies learning an official title in future, whereas "unofficial" or the like simply mean titles that are not officially used by Nintendo or formed by the fan community.

 * Most of what people want to tag with this is stuff that Nintendo is never going to bother naming. It's mostly storyline stuff that Nintendo cares very little about. There are a lot of things that are not marked with this which should be if it is kept. For example: Running Man. Is that his name? No. According to that source there it's just a description he used and not his actual name. We do this a lot. Just apply description, even though ones used in the game, to characters or places. These would technically be fan names. And there are A LOT of them. For such a pointless template, you shouldn't be so selective about what you apply it to. It's one more pointless thing that would have to be on a lot of pages needlessly. We don't have unlimited resources you know. There's only so much processing power available. Pointless.... well... crap just makes things worse. It may not seem like much, but lots of little things like this can add up to a lot. I doubt I'd have to repeat myself again. I've said all there is to say about that. 18:45, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I understand what you're saying wholeheartedly, things that don't get used or what not building up makes a mess. But still, I think we could use some system of marking things that have fan-made titles, b/c if we don't, users may confuse fan-made titles with official ones. I'm not saying we necessarily have to keep this, but I'm saying some system is needed for that regardless. Link87 18:49, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
