Talk:Bandana Waddle Dee: Difference between revisions

:I'm not sure if "Waddle Dee" is actually an official name, it may actually have no official name, and Nintendo may be putting "Waddle Dee" as a place holder for a name, because that's what the bandannaed Waddle Dee is--a Waddle Dee (I hope you get what I mean there... but that can't be confirmed). In this case, technically Waddle Dee (character with bandanna) would be the correct name for consistency purposes if "Waddle Dee" is actually the official name, but it seems really awkward, but I guess it's the only option we have, unless we make an exception for this character (which I think would cause problems in the future)... <font style="background: #fffffff" face="none" color="teal">[[User:T.c.w7468|<span style="font-family:Sylfaen; color:#000080;">'''T.c.w'''</span>]][[User talk:T.c.w7468|<span style="font-family:Sylfaen; color:#800000;">'''74'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/T.c.w7468|<span style="font-family:Sylfaen; color:#008000;">'''68'''</span>]]</font> 22:08, 5 January 2012 (CST)

::Well, it's not so much about what his name in the canon may be; whether he's actually a Waddle Dee named Waddle Dee is certainly debatable, but irrelevant to the wiki at this time. The point is that he's officially referred to as Waddle Dee, and nothing else, and we're trying to use official terminology wherever possible. Whether that is a placeholder term or the character's "actual" name doesn't matter much, it's what HAL/Nintendo calls the character so we should go with it rather than use a fan nickname. I agree that "Waddle Dee (character with bandanna)" is awkward, but we don't have much of a choice here if we wish to use the official terminology and properly disambiguate the article :\ --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:16, 9 January 2012 (CST)
