Godzilla 1998 and Godzilla :The Series Incarnations

There is a mistake on the names of 2 profiles in Godzillaverse.

Please to change Zilla and Zilla Jr profile's names into Godzilla 98 and Godzilla: The Series cuz that is his official name acording The Official Godzilla Movie Guide.

As back up in wikipedia states:

Tristar Godzilla

In 2004, TriStar's Godzilla was featured in Toho's Godzilla: Final Wars under the name "Zilla". Afterwards, Toho (the owners of Godzilla) began trademarking later incarnations of TriStar's Godzilla as "Zilla", with only the incarnations from the 1998 film and Godzilla: The Series retaining the Godzilla copyright and trademark.[6][2][3] The character has since appeared in comics and a mobile game as "Zilla"

and Gojipedia (Godzilla wiki) states:

Both Godzilla 98 and Godzilla:The Series are officially Godzillas.

Godzilla_(TriStar)

Godzilla (GTS)

Here it is the Note about that from Gojipedia.

Note: While Godzilla® 1998 and Zilla are by technicality the same character by design, they are legally different characters. All media and merchandise of the character before 2004 is under the trademark of Godzilla®. All media and merchandise released after 2003 is under the title and trademark Zilla. For the character and design from Toho created after 2003, see Zilla.

Also It should be noted that the profile that must be separated is Zilla (Godzilla Final Wars)

Soo as conclusion Zilla and Zilla jr official names are Godzilla. And Zilla Final Wars must have a separated profile.
 
You shouldn't always trust Gojipedia. The admins themselves basically gave up on that place and theirs no real quality control anymore, at least not officially.

I don't think we should change the names. One official source refers to him as Zilla when most merchandise, his official ico and Rulers of Earth all refer to him as "Zilla". Additionally, this is just his most well known name so changing it could lead to confusion. I feel like separating the page into multiple pages is also just unnecessary. It's the character under a different name. We could probably highlight the name weirdness under the Name or Notes section tough.

Wikizilla Main Godzilla page has both Godzilla 98 and Godzilla The Series as official Godzilla incarnations. https://wikizilla.org/wiki/Godzilla Go ask them who are better than gojipedia
