Wikipedia:Naming conventions (fictional elements)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This naming convention covers titles of articles about characters, locations, and other elements from works of fiction (collectively, fictional elements), as well as lists of fictional elements. This does not cover articles about elements in mythology.

For characters, the full name, if known, is typically used for the title of the article except when an alias or other name is much more common. For all other elements, the most common name in reliable sources is used. Titles should use an out-of universe perspective; for example, Sesame Street (fictional location) is preferred to Sesame Street (location) or Sesame Street (street).

Disambiguation

Note that real-world topics do not automatically take precedent over fictional elemets as the primary topic. For an example of a fictional element that is the primary topic for an ambiguous name, see Luigi.
