Name[edit]
This name is, as it stands, conjectural. This character is consistently called "the professor," in lowercase, in-game. Should we rename this page to just "professor" or go for an internal filename? Scrooge200 (talk)

- I'd be partial to "Professor (Toad)" since I feel it can be a disambiguation page instead, but for reference, it seems like the filenames are KNP_Prof.bfres.lz (model) and KNP_Prof.Yellow.bfres.lz (textures), unless I'm mistaken. LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:08, March 16, 2020 (EDT)
- "Professor" redirects to Byleth at the moment, for some reason. I would prefer not to use an identifier since there's no other character simply called "professor," but "Professor (Toad)" might work. Anything is better than this conjectural name. Scrooge200 (talk)

- It's pretty common as a generic title, though; for example, Kolorado and Frankly are referred to as "Professor" in a few lines, and I'd be surprised if there aren't more instances of scientist characters nicknamed as such throughout the franchise history, which is why I say the main article may work better as a disambiguation. I do agree that the "Toad Professor" should be moved regardless. If we go the filename route, would "Prof. Kinopio" or the "Kinopio Professor" be better?

- "Prof" is used in text data too, so I'd prefer that. Scrooge200 (talk) 19:06, May 19, 2020 (EDT)
