Forum:Using Full Names
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
Here's a question that has been bugging me. For the names of articles, should they be based on the person's actual full name or what they were most commonly known as? Examples are Amy Pond and Jo Grant, Amelia Pond and Josephine Grant respectively. These are ones in which their commonly known names are used. However, Andrew Stone was moved recently to his full name instead of Andy, as he was known. So shouldn't we come up with some sort of way of deciding? --The Thirteenth Doctor 19:17, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
If the articles are supposed to be in-universe than they should be at Josephine Grant and Amelia Pond. This has been discuseed a bit on the page for Romana. If we do use full names than her page would have to be Romanadvoratrelundar.Icecreamdif 20:49, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
I think it's better that they be what they are known by - that's what users are going to search. I mean, wikipedia has the entry "Bill Clinton" not "William Jefferson Clinton." 207.171.242.3 21:55, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
