Community Portal name

The Cantina? --SparqMan 16:21, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

  • Sure. I thought of some other names, but they are lame. StarNeptune 16:30, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)
    • What had you thought of? --SparqMan 18:17, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)
  • Well that sounds like the name we could use for the equivalent of the Wikipedian village pump. -- Riffsyphon1024 16:57, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)
    • Though Wikipedia requires the "Village pump" and the "Community portal" because of its size. I doubt we need both. --SparqMan 18:17, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)
  • The Cantina sounds great to me. Perhaps the cantina could have its own name as well, like "The Super Ugly Robotic Hutt" Also, perhaps we could use the main article page instead of the talk page for discussion. --Imp 20:55, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)
  • Strongly support. - Sikon 11:04, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)
  • I think 'The Cantina' is overused. at my forums I named my general forum 'The Spaceport', lol. But otherwise count me in favour of The Cantina. --beeurd 13:30, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)
    • Have we decided a new name yet? How about the Ragin' Wookiee Cantina. (j/k). :) QuentinGeorge 01:05, 15 Oct 2005 (UTC)
  • The Cantina does seem a little too 'obvious'. I'm not sure I like it. I can't really complain though since I don't have any better suggestions. – Aidje talk 01:21, 15 Oct 2005 (UTC)
  • I see you found it...thanks, MarcK. I'm not crazy about any of them so far, but trouble is I haven't come up with anything better yet. WhiteBoy 10:23, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  • jSarek pointed it out to me, right after I created a new one like a dolt. Boy it feels good to simply delete any Wookieepedia:Consensus track/New Community Portal title|mistakes you make.. --MarcK [talk] 10:28, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  • Galactic Headquarters? -- Riffsyphon1024 11:13, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
    • This may be taking it a bit far, but also consider we could keep the CP part of it. Coruscant Pavillion? Community Platform? Coruscant Platform?, Community Proscenium? Conference Plenum? Any of the above combinations? -- Riffsyphon1024 11:25, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
      • WP:CP currently collides with Wookieepedia:Copyright problems. - Sikon [Talk] 08:04, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Last night, I just realized that CommPort might work. It has the sound of a futuristic communications system, but is really just Community Portal shortened. jSarek 01:47, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Voting

The cantina

Eh, my fav of the ones so far, but I'll probably change my vote before this is over. Like someone said...too obvious. WhiteBoy 10:23, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  1. This one is most clearly Star Warsy. --SparqMan 18:36, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
  • Great name. -- Doo Doo 05:07, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Senate Hall

Comments

I thought the meetings were going to be called Mofferences, which seems more fitting considering their size and the members involved :). For the community portal on the whole, I stand by Senate Hall. In addition, Senate Hall would be more easily recognized by new users as opposed to Mofference Room. RMF 22:22, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I'm actually fine with Senate Hall myself; I just had to throw this out there. CooperTFN 22:29, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Personally I wouldn't like Mofference, *especially* since that's what the meetings are called now. And I'm not sure we'd want it to be called Senate Hall since that's what the forums section (a specific section of the Community Portal) is called. WhiteBoy 08:50, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
