Talk:Wyrmslaves

Article Title

Based on naming conventions, shouldn't the name be singular, perhaps with a descriptor such as "Wyrmslave (tribe)" or even "Wyrmslave tribe"? - yoda8myhead 16:43, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't know how to change it Yoda. Could you help me ? Dmeta 22:03, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

To change the name of the page, simply click the "Move" button on the top of the window and enter the new name in the box. But before you do so, let's try to decide what name will work best for it, as there are a few options, so that we don't have to move it more than once. We might decide not to move it at all. -- yoda8myhead 22:05, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

looking at the article, it lists it as it currently is, as if the tribe name has the s in it. In the same info box, tribe names that are singular are put into singular context, and tribes with a the have it... this tribe has neither. I think that wyrmslaves is the name of the tribe, as it is not a formal tribe, they're just a group of Behir's 'underlings' that happen to be gnolls that have pull with their master.. (sorry its late and I'm rambling a bit)I do think that these tribes/groups of gnolls should have a category or index page somewhere if there isn't one though. Cpt kirstov 05:11, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I think we better use "Wyrmslaves (tribe)". And apply this to other tribes too. No reason to make it fully descriptive as ""Wyrmslaves (gnoll tribe of X mountain)" because there are the categories and the text. We need something easy to remember and applied to who-knows-how many names of tribes, organizations etc which easily could be reused in another context (e.g. Arbiters (Korvosa), Magistrates (Korvosa) etc ).Dmeta 10:53, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

It does seem like a good idea for things like groups of judges or merchant guilds that may share names with the same guild in other places/city despite being completely unrelated. I'm not sure whether the wyrmslave will need this and I don't think ever group that is a tribe really needs to have it marked in the title maybe just include it in the organisation info box. Plus I don't think we should add in the tribe part to wyrmslaves unless wyrmslave ends up being used for something else as well. Including tribe somewhere is a good idea I just think the info box may be a better place for it. --Cheddar bearer 15:09, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
