AVID:Requests for Comment/Bring back the Nicknames subheading

Support
Okay, so I don't support bringing back the nicknames in their previous form ("Ultra Majestic Structure XIII" and so on) but I do support bringing back popular/official nicknames (like "The V of Doom" and all the THX trailer names). I think putting them in Trivia or Legacy would just get muddled and confusing. NancerAVID (talk) 22:15, 29 December 2022 (UTC) NancerAVID
 * 1) HEAR ME OUT-


 * I Nancer's idea. This makes for a good alt proposal. V of Doom, Super Scary Face, S from Hell, and Treetown and other extremely popular community nicknames like that should be official. Charlie fiddlesticks signature.png (• USER TALK! •) 22:20, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * What is "Treetown" for, OOC? T807sig.png · Talk · Edits 01:22, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The 2007-2013 Treehouse Originals logo. It was featured on the "AVID Dictionary" thingamajig listing what certain logos mean "etc like listing cheesy logos and moog synth" Charlie fiddlesticks signature.png (• USER TALK! •) 02:35, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Lmao none of us had even heard of that one Eternity Media Group Wordmark.png (name change coming soon) 02:36, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I thought Treetown was official, at least for the bumpers. Charlie fiddlesticks signature.png (• USER TALK! •) 21:33, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

While many of the previous nicknames were cluttered, there are certain cases where we usually refer to a logo by its nickname (e.g. "V of Doom" versus "1976 Viacom logo," all THX trailers, etc.). I would support limited use of the Nickname subheading for these prominent cases. I would not, however, make it a mandatory inclusion. I think most of the random, poor quality nicknames were created by editors looking for something, anything, to fill out the field. Thatvhstapeguy (talk) 21:02, 31 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Tried that, caused too much infighting Eternity Media Group Wordmark.png (name change coming soon) 12:51, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Then I have a new suggestion. Hold on a second NancerAVID (talk) 14:52, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Where's your reasoning with this? IAmThe789Guy (talk) 13:17, 29 December 2022 (UTC) IAmThe789Guy
 * 2) Unconstitutional. ∞~𝙄𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮-𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙨~∞ (꧁𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙋𝙖𝙜𝙚꧂) | (꧁𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙨꧂) 13:19, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) since Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution. As per my reasoning left on your talk page. Eternity Media Group Wordmark.png (name change coming soon) 13:27, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * also Nancer's proposal, as it would cause far too much infighting about what nicknames should be used. Eternity Media Group Wordmark.png (name change coming soon) 02:37, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 1)  Where the heck is the reasoning? Charlie fiddlesticks signature.png (• USER TALK! •) 16:50, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) I have no idea why this request should even be entertained. This proposal is blank, save for the voting sections. --Blad  (talk • contribs • global)  18:23, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Stronger than  - There's a reason we ditched those. Also, almost none of the nicknames were even used by the community anyway. T807sig.png · Talk · Edits 18:33, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, please give a reason why you want them brought back. T807sig.png · Talk · Edits 18:34, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 1)  How are people gonna recognize the names of scary logos like the V of Doom, or the S from Hell, or the Mask of Guo Xiang. Or actually they would... Chiagozie Elobuike signature.png 13:21 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Give us a reason why. It was removed for being too subjective. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 21:22, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) As much as I liked it, I think it's best we do without. Gilby1385 (talk) 21:45, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Why? SomeGuy (name change coming soon) (talk) 00:02, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 5) What we have been doing on pages like THX and Paramount Animation works WAY better and has caused far less misuse. AlmightyKingPrawn (talk) 02:51, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 6) Obviously not. We already removed nicknames in the logo descriptions. PokeRapMonster (talk) 02:05, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 7) . The system we're using right now (header for official nicknames, Trivia/Legacy for notable unofficial ones) works way better and is less subjective. Dominicmgm (talk) 06:32, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 8) We removed nicknames for a reason and they are not coming back in any way, shape, or from! Sickminecraft45 (talk) 16:05, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 9) Seeing how back on Wikifoundary (I'm new here) the nicknames were very repetitive (just look at Paramount's nicknames since the 1968 logo). Snorunt (talk) 12:36, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
