The others' names will probably change when we figure them out, and it would be stupid to add links to pages now just to have to correct them. I'm going to edit the list page to only include links to the confirmed names, so if it's not a link there, don't create the page or add links to it in navboxes. ~ [[User:Kimbles|Kimbles]] 10:51, 15 June 2015 (MDT)

Duo Kaiser's name is spelled "Dio Kaiser" (ディオカイザー) on a magazine scan I have, so I'm pretty certain that's what its name was intended to be (it makes way more sense). It's 100% spelled "Duo" in the game though, so we should probably still use that for the page name regardless. ~ [[User:Kimbles|Kimbles]] 10:51, 15 June 2015 (MDT)

Update[edit]

Well, I filled in the missing names on the list, but I'm going to avoid adding page links for them for the time being, both here and in related Medarot sections on Medarot pages.

My reasoning is that A) the spelling is still pretty hazy on most of them (which will make updating links a pain), and B) nobody here has played the game enough to have much to say about these guys. >_> I figure we can hold of making any Shingata model pages for a while, at the very least until we have some of their sprites ripped. ~ Kimbles 13:44, 18 June 2014 (MDT)

Now that we have the sprites uploaded, I'm opening up to the idea of creating/linking pages for these guys, but ONLY the ones that have confirmed name origins (listed below). The others' names will probably change when we figure them out, and it would be stupid to add links to pages now just to have to correct them. I'm going to edit the list page to only include links to the confirmed names, so if it's not a link there, don't create the page or add links to it in navboxes. ~ Kimbles 10:51, 15 June 2015 (MDT)
Well, since we have enough of them filled in now we might as well stick with the spellings we have for the remaining pages until we find reasons to change them. I've linked the rest of the names on the list so they're all fair game to make pages for now. ~ Kimbles 13:42, 6 February 2016 (MST)
