Should this page just be called "Madeen"? The (Summon) tag doesn't disambiguate from the other "Madeen" at least.Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 10:44, March 3, 2015 (UTC)
Both Madeen and Maduin were called with both names in at least one game so these names have to be a disam page. here's what we have right now:
- Maduin - the disam page for "Maduin" and "Madeen"
- Madeen - the redirect page to Maduin (both names are currently sharing the same disam page)
- [[Maduin (Summon)]] - for the FFVI Maduin and his cameo appearances
- Madeen (summon) - for the FFIX, FFTA, FFTA2 (recurring?) and other appearances
not sure about the (Summon) tag but yeah it doesn't disambiguate them from each other. however they need to have a tag since their names were used for a disam page. Monterossa (talk) 11:51, March 3, 2015 (UTC)
hmm... has Maduin ever been called Madeen in any version? I'm not sure about it. Monterossa (talk) 11:59, March 3, 2015 (UTC)
I did a quick Japanese name hunting: From the current [[Maduin (Summon)]]:
From the current Madeen (summon):
Also according to "Lit. Translation" column on FFVI Translations subpage, "Maduin" is a mistranslation of Máel Dúin which may be the name basis for this summon. So in my opinion it should be like this:
Is there an article you think is of an exceptional quality? Vote for it here! | |||
We already have Maduin (Final Fantasy VI) for Maduin as a character. And those Dissidia equipment seem to be a mistranslation. Monterossa (talk) 13:28, March 3, 2015 (UTC)
FFIX summon info would be on the "character" page, separating them would just be insanity...Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 15:15, March 3, 2015 (UTC)
If all Maduins are are in reference to the FFVI Maduin, Maduin (Summon) can be deleted and the summon info moved to "Other appearances" on Maduin (Final Fantasy VI). "Maduin" can be a disambig for Maduin (Final Fantasy VI) and the FFTA2 summon (actually Madeen). Madeen can be an article without a tag for the recurring summon.Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 15:54, March 3, 2015 (UTC)
I think it's ok to leave Maduin's character page and summon page separated. Maduin as a character is a playable character at one point in the game and deserve a character page while Maduin as a summon deserves a page as well. Monterossa (talk) 20:02, March 22, 2015 (UTC)
- No, see how Gilgamesh doesn't have a Gilgamesh (Summon) page etc.Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 21:01, March 22, 2015 (UTC)
