| :::The first sentence identifies what the topic is, then the paragraph gives brief context. That bit fits the standard. As far as making sure the reader is aware, "Leon" is bolded, and is in only the second sentence. The reader's not gonna miss it.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 05:28, 22 August 2015 (UTC) | | :::The first sentence identifies what the topic is, then the paragraph gives brief context.

| I propose the page be moved to [[Leon]]. It is how he is called both by the characters (with him being called Squall only once, at the very start of the first game). It is also how the games call him, through journal entries, medals and museum cards. Squall Lenohart is only mentioned in passing as his "full/real name". Even on the wiki, the name is only used in reference to his original FF8 self, and for the page titles themselves. Templates use Leon, which means that, in some places, pipelinks are needed. - [[User:Zawza46|Zawza46]] ([[User talk:Zawza46|talk]]) - 15:37, 06 January 2024 (UTC)

| :I disagree. Although his journal entries are called Leon, almost all of them mention his real name. Since our policy is to use a character's real, full name, as it appears in KH, I see no reason to make an exception here. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 17:55, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

| ::With respect to wiki policy, I agree with TSH.

| ::The last time this was discussed here, it ended on this note from KrytenKoro: "''We have a full name explicitly given, with Leon as a nickname or alias[...] If the journals weren't so insistent about his real name being Squall Leonhart, maybe it would be more considerate to use his common name, but...they are insistent.''" I don't think the situation has changed much since then. Given that the current precedent is to use the full official name as it appears in the series, even if it isn't the most common title (such as [[James P. Sullivan]], [[Eugene Fitzherbert]], and [[Turbo]]), and given that we have journals as recent as KHUX and KHIII repeatedly saying that Squall Leonhart is the "real name" and "full name," the current title makes the most sense within our rules.

| ::'''However''', you bring up a good point with navbox templates: I agree that navigation is easier when everything that redirects to the current page is also bolded in the navbox. This isn't exclusive to characters – for instance, Fira and Firaga aren't bolded on the Magic navbox when on the [[Fire]] page, and "Rage Awakened -The Origin-" isn't bolded on the Music navbox when on the "[[Rage Awakened]]" page – so if we wanted to make this change it would require us to bite the bullet with piped links regardless (but I guess that's really a separate discussion.) —<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-size:110%>[[User:Aid1043|<span style="color:#9932CC">Aid</span>]][[User talk:Aid1043|<span style="color:#9932CC">1043</span>]]</span> 01:57, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
