Dragon Quest Wiki talk:Policies

On naming conventions: Sounds pretty good to me. So the articles on the final bosses of Dragon Quest V and Dragon Quest VI would be listed under Mirudraas and Deathmore respectively? (Since their names were first localized in Dragon Warrior Monsters.) I ask because both bosses are conspicuously absent from the list of articles to create. --NecroMalroth 10:07, 27 December 2007 (EST)

This might be confusing for those of us who only really got into a series with newer (Square Enix) localizations (e.g. Deathmore and Mirudraas doesn't sound right like Mortamor or Nimzo). --Melios 05:34, 17 October 2010 (CDT)

I agree with Melios, but considering this conversation is about 3 years old, we will have to revisit all the policies and make sure they are up to date and make sense. --FlyingRagnar 10:02, 18 October 2010 (CDT)

I didn't add them yet since they have been called different names by different fans, the same with Granvania, Glanvania, Granbania and a few others. But yes, those names would be appropriate. --Zenithian 10:13, 28 December 2007 (EST)

Pages with all of the various names (monsters, items, characters, etc.) can be created (ie. a page for Herb, Medical Herb, and Medicinal Herb), but the main "Herb" page would have all of the info, and "Medical Herb" and "Medicinal Herb" would redirect to the "Herb" page, or the "Loto" and "Roto" pages would redirect to the "Erdrick" page, etc. Redirects are very easy to create, and by having redirects for all numerous names for the same thing, people will be able to go directly to the page they want, if they type something in the search box and hit the "Go" button.
