Topic: Aliases: Fan name vs canon name

Privileged

blinkie_pie_(mlp) -> limestone_pie_(mlp)
inkie_pie_(mlp) -> marble_pie_(mlp)

(Or however purely G4 characters are to be handled, if the change in the second part of forum #163545 is enacted.)

Reason: Blinkie and Inkie are the fan names from before the characters were officially named. Limestone/Marble Pie are the official names.

Evidence: FiM Wiki entry on Pinkie's sisters; Further identity information, since which one had which name wasn't clear from the episode 'Pinkie Pie's Rockin' Palooza.'

It's kind of handled on a case-by-case basis, but generally we go by official names as mentioned in the show unless there's a good reason not to (Derpy is currently an exception, just because it's such a well-known name for that character). We also don't keep up with merchandise and comic names as much as Derpi does (which is why one can be called Sweetie Drops there and Bon Bon here) but as long as the name keeps it in one place I'm happy with either.
