In the game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, which I am working on, several places and characters aren't given names but are given sort of conjectural names. e.g. one town is called "Naboo village" instead of its own name, and a character is called "Neimoidian technician" without being given a name. I've created both of these article under the titles Unidentified Naboo village and Unidentified Neimoidian Technician repectively, however, I'm not sure whether those titles should have been used or what they're called in the games, some articles are given names like Thug leader and Small Village. Anyone able to help me out? Commander Code-8 To say hi, press 42 06:58, November 22, 2012 (UTC)
- You could jettison the unidentified as long as {{Nickname}} goes at the top of the article. Menkooroo (talk) 07:25, November 22, 2012 (UTC)
- Well the thing is that the articles I'm talking about are only given those names when the player clicks on them, so people don't walk around saying "Hi Neimoidian technician" like they do with most nicknames. Commander Code-8 To say hi, press 42 10:56, November 22, 2012 (UTC)
- I think the way you have it is best. Only thing is you should probably make "Technician" lowercase. The game capitalizes every word in a unit/building name when you click on it, but in-game dialogue doesn't always do that, and I'd say it's common sense enough that we can go ahead and make them lowercase. I've been moving a lot of building pages to lowercase titles because there is no reason it should be called a "Troop Center" rather than a "Troop center." Another naming problem I've encountered is with the different types of each building. I've concluded to go with the parenthetical description style (Command center (Galactic Empire)) instead of "Imperial Command center." MasterFred

- I moved the technician to a new namespace, but the links to his old namespace will need to be renamed. Other than that, what was said above concerning names works. I've based unknowns on various traits or some item of clothing that they wore, or a location. Sometimes, that can get unwieldy, so putting locations within parentheses usually does the trick, like "Unidentified Gand (Taris), Unidentified Gand (Scarlet Vertha), etc. Trak Nar Ramble on 05:37, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
