Line 10:
**However in cases where the subject's name constantly changes from game to game, the name it is commonly identified as should be used as the title. For example [[Koopa Paratroopa]] is frequently referred to as "Paratroopa" (and in some cases, other names too) however, "Koopa Paratroopa" is the most well-known name so the article's title is "Koopa Paratroopa".
*If there is no official name in any language, then a conjectural title is developed if the subject is notable enough for an article. For example, the unnamed mayor of [[Fahr Outpost]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' has been given the conjectural yet straightforward name "[[Fahr Outpost mayor]]", as he plays a role in the game's story, unlike most NPCs, which are not granted conjecturally named articles.
*When naming an article, do '''not''' use game abbreviations. (e.g. use [[Bully (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|Bully (''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'')]] as opposed to {{fake link|Bully (''M&L:PIT'')}} or {{fake link|Bully (''Partners in Time'')}}).
**Note that this does not apply to ''Mario Kart'' console abbreviation article identifiers. See the [[#Shared titles|shared titles]] section for more details.
