Changes: ESB:Proposals/Rename the Wiki (Round 2 - Open Suggestions)

Revision as of 11:14, 22 October 2013

During the April 20, 2013 SpongeBob Universe meeting, there was discussion in regards to the name of the Wiki. While we have had the name "SpongeBob SquarePants Wiki" since our foundation just over 7 years ago, I brought out the idea of renaming and rebranding the wiki. This is just a discussion so far and nothing is set in stone. I am going to list all the ideas that have come about during those meetings. Please give your comments on each with a {{support}}, {{oppose}}, or {{neutral}} as to what you think is a good or not so good name for the Wiki. Feel free to also add your own ideas. We should keep in mind the goal of our wiki:

"The goal of this wiki is to create a central information database to everything SpongeBob SquarePants-related and to make this the most accurate and largest SpongeBob SquarePants information database. All are welcome to create and help us achieve our goal."

Discussion

SpongeBob Knowledge Base

Suggested by AMK152 as a working name.

Neutral - - it's a fairly good name, and explains what this wiki is about. However, I believe this name doesn't have that "awesomeness" factor. — AMK152
Neutral - - 120d, June 26,2013 4:54 (UTC)
Oppose - a little dull, but a great start though. --Spongebob456 ^talk 11:59, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Neutral - Sounds cool but doesn't have that vibe...ZeoSpark Talk Contribs Edits 12:35,6/26/2013
Oppose - - It's pretty good, but again, I don't think it's pretty good for a name, like AMK152 said. I love stamps and I'm 22. (talk) 19:53, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose - Honestly doesn't seem like something that would attract users --BatJarley 22:35, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose - I agree with Bat, bit long and unattractive.FrostyLemon^Talk

SpongeBob SquarePants Knowledge Headquarters

Origin unknown

Oppose - - like SpongeBob Knowledge Base, but I believe this is too long of a name. — AMK152 01:32, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose - - 120d, June 26,2013 4:56 (UTC)
Oppose - A little long. --Spongebob456 ^talk 11:59, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose - Yep. Pretty long there. ZeoSpark Talk Contribs Edits 12:35,6/26/2013
Oppose - - waaaaay too long. I love stamps and I'm 22. (talk) 19:53, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose - Too long, and wouldn 't attract users. --BatJarley 22:36, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose - Once again I agree with Bat.FrostyLemon^Talk

SpongeBase

Suggested by Dylan at an early SBU meeting.

Oppose - - this name sounds rather boring. — AMK152 01:32, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose - - 120d, June 26,2013 4:56 (UTC)
Support - - AW10 Talk Contribs E-Mail 11:09,6/26/2013
Oppose - SpongeBase seems very general and doesn't depict a wiki. In some way, it is similar to SpongeBob Universe because of the generality. --Spongebob456 ^talk 11:59, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose - It's simple but a little too simple. ZeoSpark Talk Contribs Edits 12:35,6/26/2013
Oppose - - I love stamps and I'm 22. (talk) 19:53, June 26, 2013 (UTC)

SpongeBase Galaxy

Suggested by HisteriaFan17 in November 2012.

Support - - I am very much open to anything that gives that "part of SpongeBob Universe" kind of thing. This does have an awesome factor. — AMK152 01:32, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Neutral - - Sounds like some sort of weird spin-off wiki where SpongeBob has adventures in space. --IHeartSpongeBob (talk) 02:02, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose - - 120d, June 26,2013 4:56 (UTC)
Neutral - not bad. --Spongebob456 ^talk 11:59, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Support - I like this name. The "Galaxy" part decribes how big this wiki is. ZeoSpark Talk Contribs Edits 12:35,6/26/2013
Neutral - While it is a good name, I don't think that it fully describes SBSP in general, not some spin-off. I love stamps and I'm 22. (talk) 19:53, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Neutral - A creative name, but almost seems kidish.FrostyLemon^Talk
