Boobusters Wiki:Naming Guidelines

The Article Naming Policy is a policy that covers what names for articles are allowed.

Subpage Rules (Subject/subpage)
There is a trigger in place that can make "Subpage". Currently, when a character that is seen to be different in canons may be Subpaged back to the Movie version.

For discussion of this policy, please use the Talk Page.

What is a Canon Proper Name?
In disputes over names, there is a list of rules to determine what is a "Canon Proper Name", which is the best outcome for a article name dispute. There are a lot of references to consider, and to be honest they all have they ups and downs. However, these lists will help guide the importance of these items.

Films
In the cases of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II.


 * 1. The word markers. (example: "" plaque in "")
 * 2. The dialog in the movie. That meaning what is heard and what is subtitled.
 * 3. Identifiable places of objects in the Real World (example: "" which was never spoken of, but landmarks are clearly shown.)
 * 4. Scripts, with the last revisions being the most important.
 * 5. Novels with the understanding that the names may be made to suit the novels writers creative interests.
 * 6. Merchandise such as cards, posters, collectables.

Retro-caning happened in regards to Boo (was "" in ""), and likely there was other Retro-caning, for which the movie is the successor.

Boobusters : The Video Game (Realistic version only) can add reinforcement to a spelling. It is viewed as a successor to Boobusters II. However, it is not as strong of canon as the two movies, therefore it by itself can not respell a name. (example: "" is Boobusters subtitles which is canon, but "" in video game is not canon.) Likewise, names used in the video are not to be used as canon against names from the movies. (example: "" is the name in Bootbusters, however the video game revealed her name to be "Eleanor Twitty"that is not canon in the naming of a article, because the movie is stronger canon.)

Cartoons
