Why is Emperor Palpatine named Darth Sidious on this wiki?

[GojiBoyForever]

^

His most popular name is Emperor Palpatine and Darth Sidious is more a secondary name. I've made this name mistake almost every time Ive searched for him.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Because that's his name?

 

[GojiBoyForever]

Updated op.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Pretty sure he was know as the emperor waaaay before that, and it's the name he uses.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Tbh, most people think of him as Palpatine. Should we change it?

 

[LordTracer]

He was called Sidious long before he was ever called Emperor Palpatine though.

 

[GojiBoyForever]

No. Back in the day he was only known as the emperor.

 

[LordTracer]

I mean in continuity.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Writing palpatine in automatically links to him, so I see no problem with it staying as is.

 

[GojiBoyForever]

But Emperor Palpatine doesn't.

 

[GojiBoyForever]

Basically I'm suggesting the name be changed to Emperor Palpatine.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

His real name is Darth Sidious. Also "Emperor Palpatine" is dumb to refer since that's not even his full birth name.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Goku's real name is Kakarot. That's not the profile's name.

 

[GojiBoyForever]

Just saying most fans and people call Emperor Palpatine but whatever.

 

[GojiBoyForever]

bump

 

[Antvasima]

I will redirect Emperor Palpatine to Darth Sidious.

 

[GojiBoyForever]

No, I wanted Darth Sidious to be renamed Emperor Palpatine, but I am unsure of the consensus.

 

[Antvasima]

That is not going to happen, but this way those searching for Palpatine will find the page anyway.

 

[Tony_di_bugalu]

His real name is Darth Sidious. Also "Emperor Palpatine" is dumb to refer since that's not even his full birth name.

Isn't that the name Plaeguis gave him when he became a Sith?

 

[GojiBoyForever]

It is.

 

[Firestorm808]

"The Senate" should also be under his names.

@Firestorm808

What do you mean?

 

[Firestorm808]

It's a prequel joke.

[Hellbeast1]

I'm torn on this

 

[Antvasima]

I think that this seems settled, and that the thread should be closed.

 

[Hellbeast1]

I actually am cool with changing the name

Emperor Palpatine is more recognisable then Sidious (In fact Palpatine is what they use more)

If we consider Sidious more important as his Sith name then we should rename Dooku to Darth Tyranus

 

[Antvasima]

Well, as I mentioned, anybody searching for Emperor Palpatine will now end up at the right page anyway, so I do not consider this as a big issue.

 

[GojiBoyForever]

Well I saw in the rules that it had to be the most commonly referred name so that's why I brought it up.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, I suppose that we could rename the page if necessary, but it depends on what Matthew thinks.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Goku's real name is Kakarot. That's not the profile's name.

Sidious' birth name is Sheev Palpatine. If you want a redirect that should be it. But the main profile name should still be Darth Sidious because Sith typically throw away their birth name and adopt new ones.

 

[Antvasima]

I am fine with keeping the current page title and creating a redirect.
