{{KrytenKoro|So, normally you don't include a person's various titles in their article name on a wiki, although you can within the lead or body.

However, we need to make a decision on where that difference lies. We have a lot of these that have titles, and some that don't but could have them if we decide to include them.

;List
*Ansem the Wise (poss. Ansem (the Wise), or King Ansem)
*Ansem, Seeker of Darkness (poss. Ansem (Seeker of Darkness))
*Aqua (poss. Master Aqua)
*Aurora (poss. Princess Aurora)
*Beast (poss. Prince Adam(is this canon?), The Beast)
*Belle (poss. Princess Belle)
*Captain Barbossa (poss. Barbossa, Hector Barbossa)
*Captain Hook (poss. Hook)
*Jack Sparrow (poss. Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain Sparrow)
*Cinderella (poss. Princess Cinderella)
*Daisy Duck (poss. Princess Daisy?)
*Dr. Finkelstein (poss. Finkelstein)
*Dr. Jumba (poss. Jumba)
*Jasmine (poss. Princess Jasmine)
*Mickey Mouse (poss. The King, Master Mickey, King Mickey, Master Mickey Mouse, King Mickey Mouse, etc.)
*King Triton (poss. Triton)
*Lady Tremaine (poss. Tremaine)
*Master Eraqus (poss. Eraqus)
*Xehanort (poss. Master Xehanort)
*Mr. Smee (poss. Smee)
*Mrs. Potts (poss. Potts)
*Prince Charming (poss. Charming)
*Prince Eric (poss. Eric)
*Prince Phillip (poss. Phillip)
*Minnie Mouse (poss. Queen Minnie, Queen Minnie Mouse)
*Riku (poss. Master Riku)
*Yen Sid (poss. Master Yen Sid)

Personally, I think the Ansems should stay the same, and for the various royalty, the title should be dropped if they are ever referred to without it. As for "Master", I don't think it should be in the article titles at all; right now, only Eraqus uses it, and I'm ''certain'' we've heard him just called Eraqus at some point. Same with Captain, I think "Barbossa" and "Hook" have appeared on their own, though if we can get canon backing for Hector and, I think, James, we should add them (if not, their articles should not be claiming them as the names). As for Squall Leonhart, and any other FF characters given full names outside the journal...I feel like we should add them in. Mr., Mrs., and Dr., it sounds pretty funky to drop, so let's leave them.

....or, we can tell Kryten to jog off, and keep using whatever the latest journal entry uses. Thoughts?

(Also, I can't access it right now, but somehow the categories on [[KHWiki:Horseless Headless Horsemann]] need to be neutered.)}}

{{Uxie|time=17:46, 25 May 2012 (UTC)|zoe=If it means changing the names to their true names or whatnot, I'm against it. Too Sci-Fi wiki-like. Next, you'll be asking on changing the tence to past, which I only agree on for certain articles. I'm happier the way things are. So sorry, but just stating my two cents.}}

{{LightRoxas|text=I agree that we should drop the Master from all titles - and I too remember that the page was once just Eraqus. As for the rest, I'd say keep them - in many cases, the title is almost their first name of sorts, since they aren't referenced by their actual name in the game. That being said, I can see changing Mickey and Minnie to have their "King" and "Queen" titles, if that's what the other editors want - but I personally think they are fine as is.}}
{{KrytenKoro|Minnie and Mickey have both been named without "King/Queen" in their names, so those would be left as is according to my suggestion.

Basically, the effect of my suggestion would be:
*Captain Barbossa >> Hector Barbossa
*Captain Hook >> Hook
*Dr. Finkelstein >> Finkelstein
*Dr. Jumba >> Jumba
*King Triton >> Triton
*Lady Tremaine >> Tremaine
*Master Eraqus >> Eraqus
*Mr. Smee >> Smee
*Mrs. Potts >> Potts
*Prince Charming >> Charming
*Prince Eric >> Eric
*Prince Phillip >> Phillip
*Leon >> Squall Leonhart

With each of these being only if we can find somewhere in the scripts or journals where they are referred to with these names.}}
{{EO|time=23:27, 25 May 2012 (UTC)|annoyed=I really can't stand it when our "logic", so-called, contradicts what the GAMES tell us. It is my personal opinion that we go with what the journal entries call the respective characters and just leave the bloody articles ALONE for once instead of drastically overthinking things: 

Games > Nomura referring to "Master Xehanort" as "Xehanort" 20 times in a ''KH3D'' interview because he knows we know who he's talking about in context of the interview > fan-logic. 

Honestly, if I were just someone browsing around the KH Wiki, I would type "Master Eraqus" in the search bar if I wanted to read about Master Eraqus, not "Eraqus". I would type "Aqua" to read about Aqua rather than "Master Aqua". I would search "Captain Hook" to read about Captain Hook rather than "Hook" simply because that's not what the character's called (at least the incarnation of him present in ''Kingdom Hearts''). There is no such character as "Triton", only '''KING''' Triton.  

Short and sweet, informally dropping a title or using nicknames is simply part of natural conversation. I don't go around calling you "KrytenKoro" all the time; I call you "Kryten". You don't call me "Eternal Nothingness XIII" all the time; you call me "ENX". Same goes for last names: I don't call Tom Sanderson "Tom Sanderson" whenever I refer to him; I call him "Tom". Unless there are numerous characters running around with the same name (*cough* Xehanort incarnations *cough*), it is implied that when I say "Tom", I mean "Tom Sanderson". We keep both Jack Sparrow AND Jack Skellington so we know who we're talking about when. If the name appears again in context and it's obvious we know who we're talking about, THAT's when we shift to "Jack".   

Furthermore, a character like Jack Sparrow referring to Captain Barbossa as "Barbossa" is simply so we don't have to hear "Captain Barbossa, Captain Barbossa, Captain Barbossa" over and over again. As I said above, it's just not how people talk. You also need to look at how the character him/herself and his/her relationship and mannerisms with the person to whom he/she refers. Master Xehanort doesn't respect Master Eraqus, so why use the title? Thus "Eraqus" is used by Master Xehanort to refer to that particular character. When "Xehanort" is referred to as such, it's very confusing in the case of ''KH3D'', and Master Xehanort or Young Xehanort usually has to be on the screen for us to know who the characters are talking about. Obviously the only Xehanort in ''BBS'' was "Master Xehanort", so we know who Terra's referring to when he says, "But I was tricked. Xehanort set the whole thing up."

Your suggestions are just no-brainers or common sense (note I do not list all of your suggestions, only a few that get the point across for all related characters; I apologize for any redundancy to above sections):

*Master Xehanort -> Xehanort...Really? And YOU hate confusing titles/links on the Wiki? The article could be about anyone called "Xehanort" if we did something like this... I saw your draft of the "Xehanort" article, and while the arguement about merging Young Xehanort and Master Xehanort is another arguement for another day, I honestly thought someone finally changed "Terra-Xehanort" back to "Xehanort" (apprentice) like I had asked at forst. It wasn't until I bothered to actually click the link on the Recent Changes that I saw the subject matter...
*Belle -> Princess Belle....Um, no. As long as you've been alive and ''Beauty and the Beast'' has been out, how many times have you actually seen/heard her referred to this way?
*Lady Tremaine -> Tremaine...Who the hell is "Tremaine"? No character has ever existed with this name.
*Leon -> Squall Leonhart...As far as I know, no character called "Squall Leonhart" exists within ''Kingdom Hearts''. Yeah, it's included in Leon's backstory, but that's like changing your last name and having some stubborn idiot continue to use your original one. 
*Cloud -> Cloud Strife...The last name is never used; we're not the FF Wiki, where it IS. While we as fans know him to be Cloud Strife, the characters in ''Kingdom Hearts'' know him as Cloud.
*Captain Hook -> James Hook...The character is never reffered to as "James Hook" in Disney media, which is the farthest we can go for evidence in terms of the character in ''Kingdom Hearts''. He's only called "Hook" when it's obvious the viewer knows we're talking about CAPTAIN Hook.
*Captain Barbossa -> Hector Barbossa...We're not the Disney Wiki. Our perspective is limited to ''Kingdom Hearts''. The name "Hector" is never used in the game.  

We make policies for a reason...to stick to them; we all make a pact to do so. Yeah, policies change, but only to be improved...not to be completely eliminated and replaced with something purely nonsensical. We agreed long ago to only refer to the characters as the games do (yes I know these exact words are not in the MoS...), and that's how I feel it should stay!}}

*"Yen Sid: Yes. Eraqus's pupil. I've been expecting you. It is the Unversed."{{KHBbS}}
*"Xehanort: It was an accident. While training with me, Ventus succumbed to darkness, and there was but one way to save him--strip that part of him away. And thus Vanitas was made.

I knew the boy could not stay with me, the man who did him such grievous harm."{{KHBbS}}

*"Xehanort: Master Eraqus, you see, is so afraid of darkness, that he too, has succumbed--not to darkness, but to light. It shines so bright, he forgets that light begets darkness. And Aqua and Ventus, their lights shine too bright. It is only natural that they cast shadows on your heart. Eraqus... He is such a fool! Light and darkness, they are a balance--one that must always be maintained. Terra...you are the one who shows the true Mark of Mastery, but he refuses to see it. And I know why. It is because he fears you. Join me. You and I can do the worlds much greater good, by wielding light and darkness in equal shares."{{KHBbS}}

"It is my personal opinion that we go with what the journal entries call the respective characters and just leave the bloody articles ALONE for once instead of drastically overthinking things"
*As I said, the journal entries, ultimanias, etc., are not consistent, and we already ignore them for stuff like Experiment 626 or Mickey Mouse (instead of calling him "The King" or "King Mickey". "Following academic MoS when the scripts allow it" is not "throwing out the policy".

By the way, my username is one word, KrytenKoro. It's not a first name and a last name, it's one word.}}

{{Uxie|time=03:44, 26 May 2012 (UTC)|text=I agree with EternalNothingness. I'm known as UxieLover1994, but most people around here (and on other wikis) refer to me as Uxie. Changing the articles names, especially with Leon's, will just confuse people. Yes, they do it on some wikis, but that's because they follow the "articles for everything" rule (everything as in there is also articles for those who don't need it such as Input/Outpot (IO) Tower, Santa's House, Tremaine Manor, even Cortéz), and our wiki's not like that. Some of these names don't even make sence, particually with Belle.}}

*Irrelevant. Stay on topic, guys.

"our wiki's not like that."
*Yes, it absolutely is. I'm appalled that this is still a point of confusion, I've been trying to hammer this point in for years.

{{Uxie|time=04:07, 26 May 2012 (UTC)|luna=Well if it is, why arn't there any articles on characters such as Kiara or Bootstrap, or articles on each area in a world? In fact, if we were like what I said, then the Gullwings would be seperated into Yuna, Rikku, Paine. Plus there would be articles on Sora's parents. If you want to do this, then don't forget to make this wiki in past tence, since your ideals seem to be heading towards the Sci-Fi wiki style. <s>If that happens, UxieLover1994 will be out of here for good.</s> Ignore this, please.}}
{{KrytenKoro|Jeezus, Uxie, enough with pulling accusations out of your rear and making pointless ultimatums.

The Gullwings article covers everything about those characters, and there are redirects pointing to them. "Articles for everything" is not the same as "every possible thing gets a separate page".

That Bootstrap and Kiara currently redirect to a character gallery is unfortunate (there should be at least something summarizing their role), but they still have working redirects. Furthermore, it's ludicrous to say  "because the wiki is not currently perfected, it's not allowed to be perfected".

In any case; whether we stick to the current policy (which is very poorly and unevenly enforced) or go with the new one, Dr. Jumba's article needs to be moved, as "Jookiba" is in both the script and journal entry. As for Barbossa, the article's lead currently says "Hector Barbossa", so if that's wrong it needs to be burned with fire.}}

{{Uxie|time=10:23, 26 May 2012 (UTC)|zoe=So sorry for annoying you. I thought that you were to go against the journal. Yeah, the policy needs to be updated (<small>Por lo menos para asegurarse de que todo lo relacionado con la selva profunda, pero los enemigos y el trío están en tiempo pasado</small>) to suit with the new form articles and, of course, the new style we're going through.

As for Barbossa, I suggest on changing it to just Barbossa, or Captain Barbossa as per his journal entry.}}
{{ShardofTruth|time=21:12, 26 May 2012 (UTC)|talk=I agree that the titles can be quite confusing sometimes, especially Mickey's. But I don't think a simple ruleset (drop royality, master and captain, keep the mr./mrs./dr.) will work out in every case. I think going by the latest journal entry's title is the best idea, although we might have to move some articles every new game then. Also is "Charming" really a name? I always thought it was a description.}}

{{Asif|sho=I think the problem with this argument is that each title holds a different meaning for this subject, meaning that it isn't reasonable to make one rule about titles and have it apply for every article. For example, while I think that pages for Aqua and Riku aren't in need of the "Master" title in their titles, keeping the "Master" title in Master Xehanort's article would alleviate much confusion for other users. A person could search for "Xehanort" and be directed to the page about Master Xehanort instead of Terra-Xehanort, the one they are looking for. This is an issue that needs to be looked at for every article separately from each other, because if we did make rules, we would have to build in so many exceptions that having them would be pointless.

I also propose that we set a time limit as to how long discussion we have about each article, assuming there is disagreement between users. Seriously, the debate about Terra-Xehanort was ridiculous- some people are ''still'' unhappy with the chosen name. (Note that this is NOT an invitation to begin that debate again). I propose a seven-day maximum discussion and voting session per each article. I also think that the end time needs to be clearly written- there was confusion with the voting for Terra-Xehanort, because people didn't know when the voting period ended.

I know that this seems a little bit too much, but keep in mind that we won't necessarily have to do this for every article if there is no discussion- or if a compromise can be reached. It's not a perfect solution, but at this point I think it's the only one that's feasible for this type of situation.

On a related note, could we somehow add these titles to the "Other Names" section of the character template for each? I don't think it will be necessary for every article, but for pages like Mickey's (Mickey Mouse, King Mickey, Master Mickey, etc.) it might be a good way to compromise on this issue- keep the title out of the article name and use it in the template instead.

Thoughts?}}
{{Xion4ever|time=05:23, 27 May 2012 (UTC)|talktext=Easy, guys and gals. Easy.

@Shard: Charming is normally used as an adjective/verb. However, some older fairytales and/or stories have used charming as a name. I suppose they were saying "Prince is charming." Instead of saying "Prince Albert was very charming." Or something like that. Perhaps "This Prince is Charming" instead of saying "Prince so-and-so is charming" every time?

Personally, I would like to follow the names the recent journal entries give us. And- well, pretty much what Shard and Asif said about that.

I disagree though on the time limit idea. Not that I disagree that some [previously closed/settled] discussions should be reopened (no reference, by the way...seriously). It's just that I personally don't like a constriction or set time for users to discuss/debate/rally support, and all that jazz. There is, or was, a general unwritten rule that a lot of users used to know and follow about discussions: if it's a couple of weeks old since the last post, chances are the discussion is closed and shouldn't be edited. Simply put, this is a Wiki. We have new users, ideas, and the like throughout each day. To deny someone their right to input on a discussion just because they missed the alotted discussion time is...well, rather wrong. As for voting: a formal voting process isn't needed for every discussion. Sometimes a [[Talk:Moogle Shop|discussion]] is as easy as one or two people saying "Yes, I think we should do what <user> proposed." There is new input and answers to a discussion one day, and some lacking the next. A set timelimit is a nice proposition, but one I feel will be more tedious and troubling than properly handing a discussion and, should it occur, a rediscussion. Similar to what happened on [[Terra-Xehanort]]'s talk page. The topic was reopened, discussion was held again, the previous decision stands. Everyone had their input, outside of a time limit, and everything worked out. No elaborate posting of voting periods/polls (don't use polls, at least not the old coding- not going into that), users upset because they couldn't have their say because they were grounded from the computer for a week, and all that.}}

-{{KrytenKoro|For other names: the "Alias" parameter in the infobox should be used for that purpose. They can also appear in the lead.
-For Xehanort: when I merged, I dropped "Master" after asking the people present in the IRC, because obviously the young form isn't a Keyblade Master. We also have numerous people just calling him Xehanort, like Yen Sid or sometimes Nomura. Obviously, I don't think it will be possible to go by the latest journal entry for him (Unknown/Master Xehanort or Young Xehanort/Master Xehanort?) and except for Eraqus, every other single Keyblade Master's article does not have that title. The issue is, as always, open for discussion, but I think it would be quite irregular and confusing to be calling the article "Master Xehanort" and then trying to set a dichotomy between the Master and Young forms within the article. Again, open for discussion (on that talk page).
-As for this forum: We still have three games to check for sources. It seems like ENX is suggesting "use the name of the latest English journal entry" for each character, which is acceptable, although it will cause us to move articles each time a new game comes out. On the other hand, my suggestion would make them more stable, but requires more of our own decision-making and a touch of arbitrariness. This probably will need to be settled with a vote once we have all the quote mining done (it would be helpful if somebody could help maggosh with that).}}
