I think giving him a name would help make writing styles more consistent on the wiki, instead of "you", "the player", "your character" etc.

It won't be the first time the wiki uses unofficial terminology. For example, numerous pages already use "blue/red abilities" even though that's never mentioned in the manual or game.

I already do this when I post information on the wiki about events that occur in success mode. I think it works well since that is what Marvin calls the main character.

Yes, I noticed and thought it was a good idea. :wink:

I concur. It makes it so much easier if we're on the same page here.

But then what would Marvin call him?
Because he obviously doesn't call you by your first name...

Nobody's saying let's "make" it his first name. (as if that were possible)
Just a convenient label for us players to call the protagonist so we won't have to keep calling him "the player" "the character"

I'm personally for it, I don't see anything wrong with it. Perhaps we might want to have some sort of foot-note or page on the wiki explaining this and other names that players have created. I mean I think its fairly self-explanatory, but it doesn't hurt.
