{{Policy}}With the multitude of subjects in the ''[[Rhythm Heaven | {{Policy}}With the multitude of subjects in the ''[[Rhythm Heaven (series)|Rhythm Heaven]]'' series, it can sometimes be difficult to find the right way to name a page. Generally, the best source for naming will come from the game itself, but when subjects are not named within the actual game or the subject doesn't appear in video games at all, you may need to turn to secondary sources for an official name. | ||

*If there is no official name in any language, the subject is mentioned in the closest relevant page. For example, the page [[Glass Tappers]] covers the gameplay of the [[Endless Game]] in question, but as the characters within it are never named (outside of the not very descriptive internal names), the page doubles as a character page. | *If there is no official name in any language, the subject is mentioned in the closest relevant page.

===Pages for real people=== | |||
If a page is being made for a real person who has worked on a game or song featured in the ''Rhythm Heaven'', there are separate things to think about when naming their page. | |||
*If the individual is an artist or songwriter and they release their works and are credited under a stage name, then that name is to be used for their page. For example, the page for [[Tsunku♂]] should be named "Tsunku♂", rather than his real name, Mitsuo Terada. | |||
*If they have multiple stage names, use the one most recently used in the context of ''Rhythm Heaven''. However, any of these other names should be mentioned in the person's infobox in the {{nihongo|Aliases}} section, and they can and should be page redirects. | |||
*If the person in question is from a country which does not speak in a Latin language (such as Japan or South Korea), it's preferred to use any sort of official or recognized romanization of their name, preferably one used or endorsed by the person themselves, or one sourced from official media, such as the [[Staff Credits|staff credits]] from a ''Rhythm Heaven'' game. | |||
**If a recognized name is not available, then simply use the individual's full name (romanized, if needed) as the page name. | |||

This is a list of acceptable sources when it comes to naming a page. If a source is not present, keep moving down the list until you have found the right way to name the page, and only create a conjectural title as a last resort. | This is a list of acceptable sources when it comes to naming a page.
