::Now, should we change the name of the article? I dunno. Technically, "Gandalf" is the first term used to call the character, so the wiki rule "the first term used must be kept" can be applied here. But we can also argue that "Gandalf" sounds more like a joke from the game files. --[[User:Boomboleros7|Boomboleros7]] 08:44, 22 November 2019 (CET)

:::My mistake, I thought it was unused. I'm also aware of the first time rule, but I would argue that having it be a name of a file doesn't count as that was never meant to be seen by us players. I very well believe Gandalf was meant more as a joke than anything else. --[[File:Carrot signature.png|75px|link=User:Raycarrot]] 10:53, 22 November 2019 (CET)

::::Yeah, it's like the murrays/eels who are called "Boss Colo" in reference to the Colo claw fish from ''Star Wars''.

::::"Elder Teensie" sounds more like a "Glade of Dreams name", plus it's a term used in-game which is better than a term used in the sprites files. Maybe we can change the name of the article, and keep "Gandalf" as a redirection. --[[User:Boomboleros7|Boomboleros7]] 18:40, 22 November 2019 (CET)

:::::If "Elder Teensy" is actually used in the game, it makes it more official than "Gandalf", which may predate but only appears in the game files. I've been meaning to come up with a chart that explains our naming policy for some time now, I'll try to submit a first draft soon. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 21:33, 4 December 2019 (CET)
