There are some conventions to follow when deciding on the Name of a page (and subsequently its URL). First and foremost, the full Name of the subject should be used, such as "Angela Delaire" or "Wendy Bishop". There are also some page Name formatting rules to follow that cover situations when there are multiple subjects with the same name, or alternate versions of existing characters, in either canon or fanon. These Name formats can be categorized into three formats:

There are also some page Name formatting rules to follow that cover situations when there are multiple subjects with the same name, or alternate versions of existing characters, in either canon or fanon. These Name formats can be categorized into three formats:


<strong>1:</strong> The "<strong>vanilla</strong>" page Name, such as "Emmy", whose URL displays as "https://emmytherobot.wiki/wiki/Emmy"<br>
<strong>1:</strong> The "<strong>vanilla</strong>" page Name, such as "Emmy", whose URL displays as "<code>https://emmytherobot.wiki/wiki/Emmy</code>"<br>
<strong>2:</strong> The "<strong>differentiator</strong>" page Name, such as "Natalia_(Bulletz4Breakfeast)", whose URL displays as "https://emmytherobot.wiki/wiki/Natalia_(Bulletz4Breakfeast)"<br>
<strong>2:</strong> The "<strong>differentiator</strong>" page Name, such as "Natalia_(Bulletz4Breakfeast)", whose URL displays as "<code>https://emmytherobot.wiki/wiki/Natalia_(Bulletz4Breakfeast)</code>"<br>
<strong>3:</strong> The "<strong>alternate version</strong>" page Name, such as "Wendy/WWU", whose URL (technically a subpage) displays as "https://emmytherobot.wiki/wiki/Wendy/WWU"
<strong>3:</strong> The "<strong>alternate version</strong>" page Name, such as "Wendy/WWU", whose URL (technically a subpage) displays as "<code>https://emmytherobot.wiki/wiki/Wendy/WWU</code>"


You must use the following rules to determine whether the page you are creating shall have a vanilla name, a differentiator name, or an alternate version name.
You must use the following rules to determine whether the page you are creating shall have a vanilla name, a differentiator name, or an alternate version name.


Differentiator Names are to be used in the event of a vanilla Name conflict between two or more pages about completely separate characters, locations, or other subjects. The vanilla Name is always fist given to whichever page concerns canon content, or if there if the conflict is between fanon pages, given to the older of the two conflicts. The remaining pages shall receive a "differentiator" Name, which shall be the vanilla Name with an identifying suffix tacked on. This suffix should, in order of preference, contain the name of the work the subject originates from, or the creator's name if there is no work, and be placed after an underscore and in parenthesis. For example, "Natalia" versus "Natalia_(Bulletz4Breakfeast)". Abbreviating longer story titles or creator names is not permitted for the Name used in the URL, but is acceptable when masking it to save visual space on a page at this time.

Alternative version names are to be used in the event a subject fractures into multiple versions. In this case, the original or "primary" version shall receive the vanilla URL. The subsequent alternate versions shall have the vanilla Name suffixed followed by a forward-slash, followed by the name of the work they appear in or the name of their creator if there is no work. For example, "Lulu" versus "Lulu/Cobbled". The rule of last names still applies here - for example there is no "Wendy" page because the primary Wendy's name is "Wendy Bishop", and because the alternative Wendy from 'Wendy Wakes Up' is not the primary, her page is still "Wendy/WWU".

After taking all of the above into consideration, you should now have the Name you shall use for the page you are creating. If the name has any spaces in it, replace them with underscores.
