Hi, I hope you are well. I was just wondering if you could direct me to where it was decided that the characters listed in the infoboxes should only be referred to by a single name?

== Re: Masters == | |||
Hey! This is indeed prep-work to the, by now, foregone conclusion that we ''will'' split the Masters. At this point it's just a matter of waiting for a functional Forum in which to officialise this, but [[User:CzechOut]] himself has agreed that we should do it. | |||
By the same token, we ''shan't'' be using quotation marks unless there is literally no other option — because someday we're expecting to start phasing out the Master linking templates and promoting direct linking to <nowiki>[[War Master]]</nowiki> and so on, and you simply can't have a page name start with quotation marks. And indeed, the reason [[User:OncomingStorm12th]] and I started the "rollout" with [[War Master]] and [[Spy Master]] is that these ''are'' official names, not just debatable fan nicknames. Certainly they're as official as [[War Doctor]], which we feel no need to saddle with quotation marks. | |||
[[Saxon Master]] will probably be used for Simm, as this is what the credits of ''[[Masterful (audio story)|Masterful]]'' used. As concerns Ainley, deciding whether he is the [[Tremas Master]] or [[Trakenite Master]] is nontrivial and is one of the things we'll need the Forum thread to determine. Likewise we need a consensus on what to call Roberts, since ''Masterful'' unhelpfully gives us the unusuable "Movie Master". Again though, as all these names are somewhat more controversial, I don't intend to start using them on the Wiki until the actual page-splitting thread happens.
