Talk:Necrotitan
From MediaWiki
I would think this article should stay at Necrotitan. That's what it was known as through the entire run, the after-the-fact reveal of the name Quintessa shouldn't override that. --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 09:35, 14 November 2018 (EST)
- IIRC, "Necrotitan" wasn't even said once in the comic. It was just in solicitation text and was more of a descriptive nickname than an actual name. Saix (talk) 10:28, 14 November 2018 (EST)
- There was a whole gag where Brainstorm and Bluestreak? talk about the proper way to pronounce Necrotitan. It might not have ever been used as a proper name (IIRC it was always THE Necrotitan), but it WAS used. Doc Chloroplast (talk) 12:48, 14 November 2018 (EST)
- Even if it was used in the trade, the actual name should be where the page title is. We have lots of characters, locations, and other things at titles that were never used in the published or broadcast material, sourced from word-of-god, because they're the actual, official, proper names. There's no real reason to make an exception. - TBR (talk) 18:19, 14 November 2018 (EST)

I want to bring this up again - with the name "Necrotitan" being used in Forged to Fight and "Quintessa" being relegated to Unicron backmatter, I think it's more user-friendly to have this page at "Necrotitan", similar to how we put G.I. Joe characters at their codenames rather than their "real" names. It helps that doing so would avoid the disambig tag. --Riptide (talk) 14:38, 19 September 2022 (EDT)
