When a situation arises where an article's subject was never given a known, official title and a user is unsure of what to name the article prior to its creation, then they are entitled to choose themselves the most appropriate name to fit the subject. Wherever this is done, the article must be tagged with {{tem|conjecture}} at the top of the page, which will include the page in the [[:Category:Articles with conjectural titles|dedicated maintenance category]]. The template also shows that the page's title is unconfirmed and speculated, and not adding it can result in confusion between what titles are official and what has been decided on a matter of speculation. Also, please note that conjectural-titled pages should only be created ''if the subject is notable enough'' to have its own article. It is unnecessary to create a conjectural page for every minor subject, such as most unnamed non-playable characters in RPG games (see [[MarioWiki:Minor NPCs]]), or most generic subjects (see [[MarioWiki:Generic subjects]]). | When a situation arises where an article's subject was never given a known, official title and a user is unsure of what to name the article prior to its creation, then they are entitled to choose themselves the most appropriate name to fit the subject.

For sections which have not been officially identified as the same subject as the rest of the article, place {{tem|conjectural merge}} at the top of the section instead. | |||
