Naming Mermin[[edit source]]
Author Richard Dinnick, who wrote the stories of both occurences where the inhabitants of planet Hydron appeared, changed the name of the species to Mermin, which is also how to refer to an individual (instead of the previous "Shoaly"). (See Without a Paddle (comic story))
We should follow that renaming convention to Mermin to avoid confusion with the different other Shoal occurences and the Shoal-persons as well as the Shoal of the Winter Harmony. --IrasCignavojo ☎ 12:38, November 1, 2018 (UTC)
