Talk:Slinky Dog
From Pixar Wiki
Naming again
Per other name discussions, I'd say this should be moved back to "Slinky Dog," as the character's full name, used in credits, production materials, book adaptations, the "Art of" Book, toys, etc. In dialogue, he's called "Slink," more often than "Slinky," but his full name is "Slinky Dog," to avoid confusion with the more generic Slinky (the company authorized the use of "SlinkyTM Dog"). Also, when I get time I'll try to do more myself, but making these pages more than stubs with just a title and voice actor might help discourage new users from moving based on Wikipedia or personal opinions or so on. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 19:46, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- I agree about moving it back for all the reasons you cited. And ditto re: stubs. We're still pretty new so everything's kind of a stub right now. —Scott (talk) 20:03, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I just added a basic description and a source quote about the issue (I had been unaware that there had been an older "Slinky Dog" toy which inspired the character). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 20:44, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yup... I've been creating lots of stubs for a couple reasons. First, it helps us define a coherent structure, so new people know where things are supposed to be -- Cars Locations, Toy Story Characters, etc. They also give people a place to start sketching out pages, without wondering about whether the topic should have a page or not.
