:There are certain absolutes w.r.t. how we handle page names. For example, pages are to adopt the name of the latest version of it, if they're the same subject. Dinolfos is a notable example, as it's gone through a lot of different names throughout the series (often typos), so for the sake of ease, it's defaulted to the latest name. (Kargaroc and Kargarok are also noteworthy examples.) | :There are certain absolutes w.r.t. how we handle page names.

:Considering Chuck's point that "Lake Scientist" is a gross misnomer for the character in ''Majora's Mask'' who is now the primary subject of the article per the reasons I mentioned, the next best thing would be to move to "Professor". {{:User:Tony/sig}} 20:46, 10 April 2016 (UTC) | :Considering Chuck's point that "Lake Scientist" is a gross misnomer for the character in ''Majora's Mask'' who is now the primary subject of the article per the reasons I mentioned, the next best thing would be to move to "Professor". {{:User:Tony/sig}} 20:46, 10 April 2016 (UTC) | ||
::The problem is that professor was never intended to be his name. They must have said ''Hakase'' in Japanese, which can be traslated to both "professor" or "scientist" I think. If I remeber correctly, he's called "Dr. Mizumi" (Lake Water Expert) in both OoT and MM manga versions. If it isn't a problem to call him "Lake Water Expert" in an official media, why should it be on a wiki.
