 Some background: in days of old, Wikizilla had design pages (e.g. MosuGoji) for monsters besides Godzilla, using the same naming scheme as the Godzilla suits to the best of our ability. We did away with them a while ago, but kept the Godzilla design pages as a compromise. That compromise is starting to look shaky - content is split pretty arbitrarily between design and incarnation pages, with some redundancies, and we have no firm names yet for the Godzilla designs from the last movie or the next one. So myself and a few other staff members have been talking about doing away with design pages altogether, moving all of that information to the incarnation pages. I thought I'd bring the matter here for further discussion. The main sticking point is how to acknowledge when the design of a given incarnation appears in media where it isn't representing that incarnation. For instance, Godzilla-kun in Godziban isn't the same character as the second Showa Godzilla, but his appearance is based on the MosuGoji suit. We can't decide what to call such a section. Suggestions welcome, as well as input regarding the rest of this process (including whether you think it should take place at all).

I think we should keep the design pages

| i disagree, i think we should remove the design pages, but instead of putting it on the page, i think it should be a different tab on the incarnation pages

| I could see having infobox tabbers for each design of a given incarnation. But if you mean the tabs at the top of the page, making the design pages subpages of incarnation pages doesn't really solve anything; you'd just be linking to them in a different way. It's also way too many tabs for the Godzilla (Second Generation) and Godzilla (Heisei) pages.

| Were this change to occur, would each Design still get named as is the case with all the Designs whose names are "unofficial" ?

The suits' nicknames can go in the incarnation pages' Name heading and Nicknames section of the infobox, if that's what you mean.

| I'd say to merge them, I agree with a lot of your points and it would make the pages a lot cleaner.

| I'm not certain of how I feel about this idea...

| Sounds good.

| I like the idea, but I wonder how it'd look for Godzillas with multiple suit changes like Showa.
