Forum:Middle names

Why don't we list them in the page title? It's their NAME, it should be added to the TITLE, not thrown into the notes section. Trolly Polly Olly 17:58, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

I guess it would really depend on how Prominent the middle name is mentioned. Do you have any examples? Agent c 18:34, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Robert House: Robert Edwin House, and Randall Clark: I changed the Randall Clark page to Randall DEAN Clark, but now people are complaining. Trolly Polly Olly 19:32, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Die Person? lol


 * 1) We use the first and last names only in the page name (when known) as this tends to be the most common known name. This is no different than Wikipedias style for page naming.
 * 2) Middle name should not be placed in the notes section, full name (including middle name/s) should be placed in the introduction sentence.

But like they said in the capitalisation discussion last year, this isn't Wikipedia. Trolly Polly Olly 19:53, May 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * That is true, but if you go back and read what I wrote, you will see that I never said that we use there policy. I said that what we do is no different than what they do, ie: we do not always use the full official name for the page name. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 20:02, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

And someone who's just been playing the games and wants to look someone up is going to be looking for "Veronica Santangelo" not "Veronica Renata Santangelo", it is probably easier this way just to avoid some unnecessary confusion. Imagine how much more of a problem it could be when the middle name isn't even information you learn in game. --User Avatar talk.png 22:38, May 20, 2011 (UTC)
