Template:Rename/doc

Rename/doc is a template for flagging articles whose names aren't quite supported by the text of the article. This template is different from Template:Conjecture, which begins a discussion about subjects that have no solid name within the narrative of a piece of DWU fiction. Rather, it's for articles whose names don't quite match the bolded name given in the first sentence of the article, or whose names don't quite match those given in a particular story.

An example of its most common use

For instance, if the name of an article were "Skiing" but the article is actually specifically about water-skiing, you might use this template to flag the article in order to invite a discussion about why there was that mis-match between the two names.

Of course, one could just be bold and move the article name to water-skiing, but you might want to flag the article if you wanted to discover whether there was a valid reason for hesitating. In this particular instance, maybe the editor who created the article had not yet gotten around to creating a section about snow-skiing and intended for the article to actually encompass both types of skiing.

As alternative to proposing deletion

This template might also be used as an alternative to suggesting that an article be deleted. If you think there shouldn't be an article about a particular topic, but the article as written contains some worthy information, you might consider using this template to encourage discussion about finding a name that encourages discussion to find a title that makes it easier to justify the inclusion of that worthy information.

Usage

To use, just type {{rename}} as the first word of an article. It is vital that the template be the the very first word of the article, prior even to any infobox templates.

Sample output

This topic might have a better name.

But the editor who placed this tag here didn't say why.
