User blog:WoeisWingbat/Let's discuss a wiki name change

Hello. So as you've probably noticed. the International Entertainment Project isn't really a project about international entertainment anymore. The name is so vague that people would constantly make pages on video games with obviously no useful dialogue, subtitles, even M&E tracks.

This is why I'm here to propose a name change (as approved by CrypticalFiery and a few other admins behind-the-scenes). We've all felt that while the abbreviation IEP stuck, it doesn't really.. make sense now. Tackling things like subtitles on a wiki primarily about dubbing makes zero sense and seems useless anyways since there's not much to write about subtitles and things like it. Therefore, the name feels misleading now, because really, it's all about dubbing on this wiki. We even have a page listing media that shouldn't be allowed on the wiki, due to not having dubs. That seems to have stuck, so should the decision that we change the name.

The format of the wiki, as of now, is going to stay completely the same. But the logo will change and anything in reference to it.

What is the new name going to be? That is what we're still deciding, but we want it to be something that will be simple, catchy, and will stick. Currently, we are thinking on Dubpedia right now, and if enough people agree then that is what we will go for. We won't be doing Dubbingpedia out of respect for the Polish wiki of the same name, as well as a fanon wiki on Fandom having the same name. User SunbeamBunny also came up with the idea of Dub Database (DubDB), if people end up liking that better.

If you have any better ideas, let us know!
