So a few years ago we moved this page from "Frederic-104" to "Fred-104" because he's nearly always called that in the books. But in ''Guardians'' he's referred to as Frederic, both by the characters and in the subtitles. Should we take this as the games superceding the books and change the article, or leave it be because of the majority of book examples?

:I don't believe the games should inherently supersede the novels (at least in this case), though we do still have Samuel-034's article titled as such, even though he is often referred to as Sam. On the other hand, we also have Catherine-B320's article titled "Kat-B320" because she is nearly always referred to as "Kat" and we have Will's article title "Will-043". Honestly, I would leave it in this case, as Fred (along with Will) mention that he prefers to go by his name's shortform and it's actually kind of odd that he is so commonly referred to as " | :I don't believe the games should inherently supersede the novels (at least in this case), though we do still have Samuel-034's article titled as such, even though he is often referred to as Sam.

:I would assume he now prefers Frederic since he never shows any signs of disliking being referred to Frederic after the Covenant war.

:I figure that's how the games are going to refer to him from now on. Depends on if future books will follow.
