Discussion
I may get a little backlash on this, as the situation was explained to me, but I really are not liking the format of placing a username, etc. on the actual page title. Not everything here will coordinate with a spin-off, and that information can already be found via the categories placed on said page (as well as what spin-off the page is from, which I also find not neccessary to place on the page title).
Also, if I may make this suggestion: could we use the Episodes category as the main one, and then branch off with that with a Fanon Episodes category (for just random fanon episodes of the main SpongeBob SquarePants program) and a Spin-Off Episodes category (for the episodes that are a part of a spin-off show of SpongeBob)?
Besides my little nitpicks there, the wiki looks to be heading in a much better direction than the current one. ClassicNickelodeon Fan 1 (talk) 22:45, May 1, 2014 (UTC)
The purpose of having the username in the title for fanon not associated with any spin-off is for organizational purposes and disambiguation. If two different contributors did not make a spin-off, but made a fan fiction version of a Mr. Krabs biography, we would need to differentiate the versions:
- ClassicNickelodeon Fan 1:Eugene H. Krabs
- AMK152:Eugene H. Krabs
AW10 has suggest a "User fanon" namespace for fanon not associated with a "spin-off:"
- User fanon:ClassicNickelodeon Fan 1/Eugene H. Krabs
- User fanon:AMK152/Eugene H. Krabs

Alright, I can understand that and that's fine. However, I think titles like this (User fanon:74.104.188.32/characters/What Squidward Tentacles Hates) are a little too wordy imo. We could rename this one to just having the username as a part of the title instead of the rest of the stuff that can be found out from the categories. Also, is there a need for having the spin-off title on the page? A person can easially know from the page and from the categories, but if it's another organizational thing, then that's alright I guess. I was just curious if it was really needed or not.

Some people would want to create their own character biographies for their spin-offs, which could result in several of the same characters with different biographies (for example, every spin off will have their own version of SpongeBob). — AMK152 02:32, May 2, 2014 (UTC)
I don't believe names should be used in titles for Fanfiction, but they should be for Fanon. For example:
- Spongebob (JPhil2.0) -- This would be needed since we have many versions of spongebob
- Spongebob Christmas Special (JPhil2.0) -- isn't needed unless there are multiple people writing a story with the same title.

True. I understand, and agree with your point. --JθE
