Forum:Where To Use Birth Names

Not sure if this issue has already been resolved elsewhere, but did we ever officially decide when and when not to use birth names in article content? So far, I know we always use birth/official names (Sakazuki, Gloriosa, etc.) for: and sometimes lists or relationship section subheaders, but we still seem to be using most commonly used names (Whitebeard, Aokiji, etc.) in the "Characters in Order of Appearance" lists for Episode pages.
 * Page names
 * Templates

As for article content itself, we seem to have settled on "use whichever name suits the case best", but that's also pretty vague and subjective. It'd be nice if we had some guidelines a bit more specific than that. 18:48, August 19, 2015 (UTC)

I'd say always use birth names for relationship section subheaders but with commonly used names in parentheses next to the birth name when appropriate [So we don't have a relationships section for Marigold but if we did, since she calls Gloriosa "Elder Nyon", her subheader would be Gloriosa (Elder Nyon)].

It'd also be better if we stuck to one name throughout history sections and whatnot (to avoid confusion - I'm leaning towards birth names), but I'm not sure. Maybe an exception would be using commonly used names in chapter and episode summaries. 18:48, August 19, 2015 (UTC)

Some characters are almost never called by their real names like Whitebeard. He was only called Newgate in a flashback when he was younger. For characters like that it should only be the name they are more commonly used as. For characters like Kuzan Aokiji has to be used when he was an admiral since that is what he is commonly called. For episodes and chapters that is the proper way to do it. If you're looking at an Arabasta episode character list then it would be things like Mr. 3 or Mr 2 since "Bentham" and "Galdino" didn't exist in that arc. SeaTerror (talk) 19:38, August 19, 2015 (UTC)
