Revision as of 11:24, December 12, 2020
Shouldn't the name of this page be "Princess Peach (Cruise Ship)" or something along those lines?
I know saying "The" helps distinguish it from the character and they say it every time, but they only do because it's a ship, it's not actually part of the name since it's lowercase (when it's not at the start of a sentence, of course).
As is this is just including the definite article of the subject of the page.--Kombatgod (talk) 18:17, December 11, 2020 (EST)
- Also, maybe it's not noted in the in-game description, but should the name be italicized as names of other cruise ships? Anyhow, yeah, it should probably be renamed to Princess Peach (Cruise Ship) if "The" isn't part of its name, as you said.

- It is part of the name, in the map, in the on-screen name when visiting the area, and in the Collectible Treasure.
- If we're going to italicise the name then we should do it for every other ship as well like S.S. Flavion.

- The ship is officially called "The Princess Peach" everywhere in-game. And there are already distinguish templates at the top of both this article and the actual character's article, so that should hopefully be enough. As for italicising ship names, the Kingdom Hearts Wiki does that too but to be honest, I don't think it's absoloutely necessary here.

- I think you're wrong in saying that's the name of the ship: everytime they mention its name in dialogue the "the" is lowercase. I am convinced that the page should probably be called "The Princess Peach" since that's the name of the in-game location, but I still don't think it's the name of the ship itself, I think the distinction should be made. Basically "The Princess Peach" is the name of the gameplay area including the Princess Peach.--Kombatgod (talk) 06:35, December 12, 2020 (EST)

- Yes, but that's regarding a real-life subject; a title of a game would be italicized for instance, but not a title in a game, if that makes sense. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:24, December 12, 2020 (EST)
