Board Thread:Placeholder Name Voting/@comment-3263817-20160311215412/@comment-3263817-20160311215745

A placeholder name is a fan name for a Mixel who does not canonically have one. It isn't just a fan name though, it is one that is voted on and agreed on to be used in place of that character's mentions so that long terms describing the nameless character do not get confusing.

Would you rather see: or:
 * "The small blue Glowkie joined in the mix."
 * "[NAME] joined in the mix."

The placeholder name system was inspired by the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic wiki and was implemented after an unanimous vote.
