Talk:The Boss

Primary topic
I'm uncertain why this wouldn't be the primary topic considering there are no other characters named "the Boss" in the DWU? Especially as we're more than likely going to learn the identity of this character soon. 20:56, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Soon as on the order of a few months, sure. But I think that's all the more reason to leave it named more precisely until then. We don't want to get into the habit of treating that as the actual name. Najawin ☎  21:15, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I do think this justifies a DAB, as BOSS is referenced as "the BOSS" in The Green Death. Just makes it a little easier to search for. We should also consider making the page name "The boss", as to not imply "Boss" is a proper noun.


 * Remember. DABs are not bad - they are good. The ongoing mission of many to avoid them at the cost of searchability doesn't serve a clear purpose - to avoid bad linkage this page should have a DAB. OS25🤙☎️ 21:26, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * It’s capitalised as "the Boss" in the subtitles. TheGreatGabester ☎  21:35, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Yeah. The computer in The Green Death is "BOSS" and the Meep mentions "the Boss". Danniesen ☎  21:40, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * If BOSS is what we're thinking of disambiguating this page from, in all honesty that's a little over the top. We've plenty of similarly named pages but we don't need to disambiguation them merely because they're similar. 21:48, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, but there is a 0% chance that there are not other characters also named "the boss." I'm sure if you went through the many barely-covered TV Comic and short trips stories, you'd find some gangster character who mumbled "The boss will not like this" without clarification. "The boss" is not the definitive article - it's a very explicit off-handed reference to a character that will be revealed later. If anything, The boss should redirect to a disambiguation page and THIS should be The Boss (The Star Beast). OS25🤙☎️ 21:52, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Agreed. And "Boss" should be the disambig, not full caps "BOSS". TheGreatGabester ☎  21:54, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Or, similar to the original page name, "The Meep's Boss". Najawin ☎  22:01, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
