So, the wiki needs a name for the hat-wearing octupus that was released last month. It seems to me that there's three options:
Personally, I'm leaning towards option one, but I'm curious as to whether that's going to cause confusion. Option two is my next-most preferred - I just think "octopus with hat" is kinda clunky. It's referred to in... somewhere... as "octopus sleeping hat", which is very clunky... |

I personally am okay with any of the options, though, like Belthazar, I prefer option 1. I feel so important and powerful while voting! :P Though keeping YPPedia up to date will take a LOT of work - maybe split into tasks? Never mind, I'm rambling and derailing... Again, I prefer option 1. :P ---------------------------------------- ~Jamesh on Emerald Avatar by PixelPixie Galene tells ye, "You are awesome." |

I'd prefer just leaving it as octopus. ---------------------------------------- ~Princessmg~ |

We follow what is done in-game; leave it as "octopus" I noticed that someone has already updated the "Familiar" article to include "octopus with hat" as a new type. Please revert that too. ---------------------------------------- Retired as of August 2015. Sic transit gloria mundi. |

Aye, I noticed that, which is part of what finally kicked me into actually getting around to posting this thread. =P |

You don't suppose having the word "familiar" in there as well is a teensy bit redundant, do you? |

Accessorized octopus. Mhm. Edit: Actually, I have to add this. Wiki doesn't entirely follow what is in-game, if we're being really technical about it. All the pets are labeled by the type, so a spring green sheep is just a 'sheep' in-game but in the wiki it is under the 'Sheep' and 'Spring green sheep', just like all of the pets. Even Three Rings has used more descriptive names than just the pet type and not only the LE color (for example, Banana Wolf/Banana Dog or Plum Panther/which still is just a Big Cat). Edit2: In before 'Three Rings does this for promotional purposes'. Yes it does, just like it calls the navy-colored unicorn a 'shadow' unicorn. To make the difference clear enough... For the sake of a better wiki, and less confusion within those who use the wiki to look up for information and do not really know about these things like we do, I ask that you/we would make the differences at least somehow clear enough. ---------------------------------------- ~ Sizzly of Emerald ~ Avatar by Aerecura <3 ---------------------------------------- [Edit 2 times, last edit by Notsizzly at Apr 6, 2013 6:11:24 AM] |

No, I like redundancy, especially if I just joke with a propasal. With the new Accessorized Octopus proposal, I really tend that way. Short and clearly distinguishes it from the normal one! ---------------------------------------- Locu on Cerulean and Opal (and some other Oceans) Check the Rack at Phakey's Tailor Stall on Tinga for nice clothes!

I like Accessorized Octopus! :) But when I am in game, I have only heard people saying Octopus with Hat. This is how I use it too. ---------------------------------------- Seatexan - on the Midnight side of Cerulean LOW RACK PRICES AT DRESSED TO KILL - NAMATH Always looking for Pollack Sloops! ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by TexasBeesh at Apr 8, 2013 6:49:00 AM] |

That's fairly understandable - it'd be kinda weird to refer to it as "red/spring green octopus" (or whatever it is) in chat. Regardless of what consensus is reached, I'll probably create "octopus with hat" as a redirect anyway. |
