I feel like some characters have way too many nicknames listed, and it kinda clogs up space with nicknames that are used once and are not important. The other thing is that there are also very few nicknames used multiple times or that are prevalent to the story, so I was just wondering if I should try to clean them up or not? ( example of too many nicknames below)
The documentation for Template:Infobox character says:
Aliases that this character is known by. Only list aliases if they are noteworthy and not one-off gags!
Some articles definitely got out of hand.
Yeah you can see on my sandbox just how cluttered some of these got. We’ll have to remove a lot of these soon.
The main characters have been especially prone to this. They just have a lot of one-off nicknames, and some of them are extra steps, like “Kris Cross Applesauce.”
But they're fuuuunnnyyyy...
Can we have a collapsable for one-off or joke nicknames then?
Think theres been a number of times I tried to trim these down and instantly got reverted. Wish there was a more collective effort to do this
I agree with it either being a collective effort or a collapsable, I feel like those are both the good solutions
I trimmed a decent number of aliases from Susie's page specifically, since it was the example here. I suppose we can use that for discussion and however people decide would be the best way to go forwards we can extrapolate to the other pages.
A collapsible header seems like a lot of effort to me to preserve a bunch of mostly not-notable information, I'd be more on the side of just removing a lot of the irrelevant aliases.
I'd like to agree with @Xanderjedi11 that there should be just a page of just one-off or joke Nicknames.
Thank you, RedactedWolf.
The TV time one is definitely the worst one out of the list.
All the others, were, in fact, nicknames that were used. But the name Susie entered in wasn’t even an attempt at nicknaming herself, she just saw she could enter a swear into the input field and thought it was hilarious. Do you remember seeing people try entering in swears just to laugh at making NPCs say that? It’s basically that.
EDIT:We know she’s like that, this is like when she asked Kris to spell a swear in Chapter 2’s letter puzzle. (The “Agree2All” one)
Still not entirely sure we should keep that one or not, it’s used multiple times so it could be considered significant enough to keep, but it’s also more of a one-off joke than a real nickname.
It wasn’t even “used multiple times”, it’s just it never got undone. If anything, the running joke is that Ralsei asks Tenna to change Susie’s name to something else and Tenna says no.
