Talk:Mayor

Renaming the page to more game neutral term?
As the article mentions, the Resident Representative in has a similar role to the Mayor in. Further information about the Resident Representative could be writen in this article without the need to create a new one. I don't think (I can't imagine) that later games would change the player one's role drastically enough that it would need a new article, so perhaps something along the lines of "First player's role" could be the new name? Although I see that the article also mentions Tortimer. That could be perhaps moved to another page, like "Government", where further information about how the towns in all the games are run could be. P aviinka (Message me!)  13:07, June 14, 2020 (EDT)
 * Given that we're using NH-language to describe in-game items and critters (e.g. 'flooring' and 'Bee'), it would seem that we should do the same when referring to player roles like this. I've added a move request on the page and am suggesting the intro of the article be rewritten so that it's framed around the 'Resident representative' rather than the 'Mayor'.

How Do I rename it? Bebber71😺 16:55, April 29, 2021 (EDT)
 * There is a More tab at the top, where there are 2 options (for autoconfirmed users): Purge cache and Move. If you select Move, you can change the title of the page. ~ Vivian   (Talk with me?)     Vivian DnMe+ Minigame.png 18:07, April 29, 2021 (EDT)
 * Most moves require consensus first on the talk page, though. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 11:21, April 30, 2021 (EDT)
 * It's been a while since this has been talked about, but I renaming to Resident Representative. It would make no sense for something to be renamed so when Tortimer is classified as a mayor himself. There isn't really much terms to actually act as replacements for Mayor, so I don't think I'd want this to be moved if for some reason we wanted to stay relevant to NH terminology. In fact, I would go further to say that Mayor AND Resident Representative may need to be split instead because they are radically different in town functions than they were before. Mayor refers running your own town, while Resident Representative, you have control over certain functions around the island but the island itself is owned by Tom Nook. This doesn't make Tom Nook the mayor, so I would say that the term of mayor is not present in . -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 14:21, April 30, 2021 (EDT)

Now what should I do? Bebber71😺 20:21, April 30, 2021 (EDT)
 * It's best to just wait it out, and see everyone's response and see if they support or oppose this. ~ Vivian   (Talk with me?)     Vivian DnMe+ Minigame.png 20:30, April 30, 2021 (EDT)
