The Naming Policy is a policy that covers naming of articles permitted here. The policy was put in place to avoid edit warring.

ThunderCats 1985[]

Stylized Naming and Spelling[]

Terms appear stylized through-out media related to ThunderCats (as well as SilverHawks & TigerSharks). Some names change from source to source, and many places the stylizing was toned down as the series continued. Main cast of characters names go as following:

  • "Lion-O"
  • "Tygra"
  • "Panthro"
  • "Cheetara"
  • "WilyKat"
  • "WilyKit"
  • "Snarf"
  • "Mumm-Ra"
  • "Spaceboard" - Introduction episode "The Time Capsule" called them Spaceboards. It might be a case that in some sources that the term "hoverboard" was used as the name to better explain the function of them. However, the show seems to like calling them "Spaceboards" or simply "boards".

Exceptions[]

Common naming exceptions do exist, most common is "Slithe" which in most original media has him named "S-S-Slithe". However, he was never called/pronounced as "S-S-Slithe" in the show itself, so the name isn't common.

Status Tag on Names[]

Status tag on names, such as: "Jaga the Wise", "Tygra the Invisible", "Cheetara the Quick", etc; should not be titles for articles, and only need be added in the "Status" field in the infobox for the character article.

Naming of Groups of People[]

Group articles, such as: Affiliations, Species, Races, etc; are to be plural naming. Examples: Vulturemen, Stone Giants, Snowmen, Wolos, etc.

Naming Conflicts from Groups to Characters[]

Many characters are named in the singular form with groups named in plural form; in those cases it is proper to add a tag note to what they for groups.

ThunderCats 2011[]

  • "Leona" -While the credits at the end of the episode gave the simply name "Queen" as her name, the subtitles featured in the Hulu copy of "Native Son" note her name.[1]

SilverHawks[]

Overall, the wiki leans on in episode spellings for topics. In episode text (which is rare) is considered, but not always picked. All spellings used in episode "The Great Galaxy Race" are confirmed and canon. The comics are considered a good but still second canon thing. Comics sometimes change spellings/stylings from page to page. All spellings and information from them needs to be sourced. Toy names used need a source as well, and are the third choice for names.

Stylized Naming and Spelling[]

In show names tend to be the choice. The Kenner SilverHawks Toyline is really only if it isn't addressed in show or comics.

Main cast of characters names go as following:

  • "Stargazer"
  • "QuickSilver"
  • "Steelheart"
  • "Steelwill"
  • "Copper Kidd"
  • "Bluegrass" -While a episode "One on One" it is shown while Stargazer deactivated Steelwill that Bluegrass is spelled "Bluegras", it goes against the comics, toys, and even the production materials for the show. So it is assumed it was misspelled.
  • "Hotwing" -Lots of dispute on this one, but episode "Hotwing Hits Limbo" title is the most official answer.
  • "Flashback" -Again this goes back and forth, but episode titled "Flashback" is what we go by.
  • "Moon Stryker" -Previously assumed one word, however none of the production materials or design sheets agree with one word. The one found design sheet says "Moon Stryker"[2] as does the Kenner toyine release.
  • "Condor"



Status Tag on Names[]

Much like ThunderCats, some characters are named with a status Such as: "Zeek the Beak", "Zero The Memory Thief"; should not be titles for articles, and only need be added in the "Status" field or "class"field in the infobox for the character article.
