Correct naming for boggio - 24 March 2024

Currently across the wiki, we use inconsistent naming for boggio dependent on where a particular citation or comment was made (as their usernames differ across platforms). For consistency, we should agree to either one of the following:

• 7GB0, Sodakettle, and pixonett - (Usernames)

or

• aidn, Soda and pix - (Personal names)

Notably, since we credit every single piece of artwork Soda draws in galleries, her name shows up the most out of all of boggio. We currently use 'Soda' in galleries and citations, and aidn in citations but 7GB0 on certain credits. I have no personal vote. ★ @NINJISY | WARDEN OF THE BANLANDS 20:00, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

for credits 7gb0, sodakettle and pixonett r all used in Boomball iirc cuz thats the credit used in game. whatever map credit is in game is used for the credit box so that is what is used there, as for like soda art tbh i dont rlly know but most people know soda = sodakettle aidn = 7gb0 pix = pixonett and idk if it was said anywhere that they were like ok use that cuz its been credited as just "soda" for example 4ever Beefore (talk) 20:12, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, honestly I'm kind of torn about it. I think the full name credits in infoboxes, maps, etc. is kosher, but then having to write Sodakettle in every single piece of art Soda has made feels like it might drive me a bit insane. But the inconsistency bothers me! We also have citations to concern ourselves with since aidn and Soda are both inconsistently referred to across citations. Should we make an exception here to just use whatever their screenname is on the citation? ★ @NINJISY | WARDEN OF THE BANLANDS 20:18, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

yes and also i think just soda in captions for art would just look better. also i think sodas username isnt sodakettle on everything so thats something. aidn also isnt 7gb0 username on twitter iirc. so like i think u just ... use the display name ez and its fine

would it be a wiki sin to use both? i.e. "aidn (7GB0)" for the first instance and then continue using the originally referenced name on the page --@CYBERUS || NIVEAN ❆ ROGUE 20:23, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm not really against it, honestly, but I think citations are probably our main problem in this. It wouldn't make much sense to apply this approach to citations so perhaps if we can agree on a standard for them specifically we can play the rest by ear. ★ @NINJISY | WARDEN OF THE BANLANDS 20:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Naming convention for the deities - 24 March 2024

Currently across the wiki, we use inconsistent naming for the SFOTH deities, due to their inconsistent references in word of god. For consistency, we should agree to either one of the following:

• The deities
• The Swords
• The SFOTH

All of these have been used across various bits of PHIGHTING! media and word of god, but deities and Swords are notable in particular - Soda refers to them as both, but specifically regards 'the deities' as a subclass of the demon species, which we currently are not clear if is unique to the Swords. It is possible that there may be other deities that are not Swords, or even demons, specifically in regards to The Church of the TRUE EYE.

'The SFOTH' so far seems to only be used to refer to the SFOTH family - that is, the Swords, their children, their grandchildren, and Medkit. This is probably inaccurate to use in reference to the Sword deities only.

I personally vote for 'The Swords' to refer to the Sword deities as a collective, but to describe them as deities, or 'a deity' and not 'the deities'. ★ @NINJISY | WARDEN OF THE BANLANDS 20:00, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

"the swords"in regards to sfoth, if any other deities pop up then u can refer to the swords + other ones as "the deities" Beefore (talk) 20:12, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

i think they should be called "The Swords" collectively. individually "deity". @CYBERUS || NIVEAN ❆ ROGUE 20:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Header spacing convention - 24 March 2024

This is purely a nitpick sort of thing. Currently, we use no spacing on headers when editing, possibly due to FANDOM's visual editor implementing headers this way. Editors are a bit divided on which to use, so let's fight about it. /S

We should use one of the following:

• == Header ==

or

• ==Header==

My personal vote is for spacing between the equals signs and the header, but this is purely for aesthetic reasons. I think it looks cleaner when editing articles. ★ @NINJISY | WARDEN OF THE BANLANDS 20:00, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

biased towards ==Header== bcuz thats the one im used to, could care less, doesnt really matter to me Tbh Beefore (talk) 20:12, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

i am a == Header == supporter. personally makes it easy for me to parse through the text. clustered together it kinda blurs with the rest. but also i wont die on this hill. i am not the King of this Hill @CYBERUS || NIVEAN ❆ ROGUE 20:28, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
