Talk:Thomas Guimbretière

Deletion of language/DOB data
I recently provided information for date of birth, nationality and Languages spoken, all sourced directly from ProfMobius. It was taken down by BDJP007301, I am undoing the changes done by them. ProfMobius will confirm in a following statement. - RazzleberryFox –Preceding undated comment was added at 18:11, 3 October 2015‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with

 * Well, where's the source? -BDJP (t 23:45, 3 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I just got a source this is his Minecraft Wiki account over Twitter, making this discussion (and the edits by ) the source. – KnightMiner  t/c 23:52, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Spelling of name
Good morning, ; your name is now spelled in the Minecraft credits with an è; however in the mojang employee list, your name is spelled with an e. Do you have any comment on how you would rather it spelled on the wiki? – Sealbudsman talk/contr 18:30, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The grave accent is important in French for the pronunciation, even though the pronunciation would be unchanged in this case. As I speak French, I suggest you to keep it. —  Itouchmasterpro  d  c 19:22, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice, that makes sense; I only wonder whether it's how he actually spells his name, now that we have these 2 conflicting sources. Ultimately if he deems the unaccented spelling incorrect, I would advocate a page rename. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 19:54, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi there ! Thanks for reminding me of that. My name is spelled Guimbretière as shown in the credits, but for international audience, I tend to omit the è and replace it by just e. Guimbretière is the correct spelling and should be used whenever possible. You don't actually need to rename the page itself as it would break bookmarks (maybe some people are actually checking this page on a regular basis ;)) and would make the url hard to read with special characters. If you can change the title without touching the URL, go for it. (All jokes aside, I really have something against special chars in urls as it makes parsing and reading those quite a challenge). Cheers ! - --ProfMobius (talk) 21:49, 24 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, the title is mostly limited to the URL title (with the exception of capitalization and underscores, as underscores are used internally). MediaWiki does not seem to allow changing between special versions of characters with the custom titles.
 * A redirect could be created from this title to "Thomas Guimbretière" if it is moved though, which would prevent from breaking old bookmarks while still making this title (the easier to type URL) function. We actually do this currently with "ProfMobius". The only issue would remains than is the final URL would have special characters. – KnightMiner  t/c 22:16, 24 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I think the title with è would work just fine (I can visit the article Coup d'état on Wikipedia just fine, although it also uses diacritics). At least for me. — Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 17:07, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
