Okay since I can't (still) make new topics, I'm just reminding everyone that at some point this weekend mascots and their software will be split.

For those who are unaware of whats been going on the intention;
 * Give room for every vocaloid a "buffer" to expand in ways that were not there before
 * To make it clear that the software and mascot are two different things
 * To help the wikia have "adaptation room"
 * To make it easier for those who just want technical information or mascot information to find it easier. Also in the process creating pages that don't end up becoming impacted by information on another unrelated subject.
 * To help "Tidy up" the wikia.

This was done with the vocaloids with more then one release first because they were becoming big pages. In the case of Miku... It seems to have little impact on this sadly.

The orignal plan wasn't for the single release vocaloids to be done so soon, but due to the adaption occuring on the split pages, the single releases no longer match them. It is important to keep unification within a wikia to make life easy for every editor and reader, so when there is a need to create a "new" article they know EXACTLY what is required. Plus it makes it easier to moderate.

This topic was created to address the naming system for these new pages and resolve the issue of names that had been brought up by Xey. Separating the software helped make things easier because in some cases the mascot and vocaloid didn't have the same name and trying to work out the best way to go about this proved a little hard. Traditionally we'd always used the mascot name and it was what we (the current editors) inherited. :-/
