Disambig
[edit]On a Transformers wiki, "SW" is not at all obvious. There would only ever be a handful of pages that use this, so I think it would be fine to spell out "Star Wars". - Starfield 10:35, 2 August 2010 (EDT)
- I'd have to agree. --Khajidha 10:39, 2 August 2010 (EDT)
- I agree also. ---Blackout- 12:26, 2 August 2010 (EDT)
- The article has from the Star Wars universe at the top of it. The parenthetical is meant to disambiguate rather than inform (plus I'm more concerned about IB removing titles from articles willy nilly. When was this policy decided again? And is he going to start moving "Optimus Prime (X)" articles to "Optimus (X)"?) --abates 15:59, 2 August 2010 (EDT)
- The only official policy is that articles be named for the character's full name. I think an argument can be made that "Optimus Prime" is his full name. It changed from "Orion Pax" to "Optimus Prime", and "Hot Rod" changed to "Rodimus Prime". In continuities where "Prime" is a rank, like "Major" and "Minor", maybe it is different. - Starfield 16:52, 2 August 2010 (EDT)
- We don't have Colonel Deathsaurus, Commander Cheetor, High Commander Megatron, the endless "Lord Megatron/Galvatron"s, Lord High Protector Megatron, President Barack Obama, Führer Scrash, etc., etc. "Prime" isn't comparable, since it is part of the characters' actual names. —Interrobang 19:16, 2 August 2010 (EDT)
- Animated Sentinel was just called Sentinel until he went through the academy and became Sentinel Minor and eventually Sentinel Prime. --abates 21:01, 2 August 2010 (EDT)
- Prime, Magnus, Major and Minor aren't ranks in all continuities. If we were to start removing that part from the article title, the G1 continuity family would have two Optimuses, G1 Optimus Prime and Beast Wars Optimus Minor. Plus, Sentinel Prime and Sentinel Minor would both be at Sentinel. There are other examples, I'm sure. -- Semysane 22:42, 2 August 2010 (EDT)
