re:admin – Before I came to wikia, I spent years editing on Wikipedia, so some of my opinions are influenced by that. I see the role of an admin to be more of janitor than a dictator. There is some more technical work an admin does, for example site css & js, but the majority of admin work is cleanup: protecting pages, blocking vandals, enforcing policies, etc. That is why I often point to the suggestion board and encourage users to get community consensus. When a topic is not 'admin', then my voice is that another editor.

full name vs partial name: As I said, there is no firm rule. Also, "If you have a version of the text and another user has a slightly different version but both are 'correct', it's at times easier to let things go. If you want to pursue it, first step is communicating with the other user. If you can't come to an agreement, then go to the community, i.e. the suggestions board. From there, a firm rule on the topic can be established and added to the style guidelines." Since both versions are 'correct', neither of you are willing to drop it, and communicating with each other has failed to bring an agreement, it means we have to go the community. Give me another half-hour and I'll start a highlighted thread with a poll there. Give a week or two for community consensus to be reached, until then, let status quo (i.e. what ever state page currently is in) stay. Please don't make me block anyone for continued edit warring.

president dante: My point was not to use "break into President Dante's office" and I gave multiple acceptable variations. Like above, both versions are 'correct' and neither of you are willing to drop this. I don't think this has anything to do with respect. First of all, he's a fictional character (while I'd understand a fan saying character A should show respect to character B because B is a president, it's a bit far-fetched to say real people should show respect to fictional character because he's a fictional president). Second of all, whether it's Trump, Obama, or another president, listing title in front of their name isn't required on Wikipedia, so I see no need for this on wikia. However, given this 'Easter Egg' is comparing to JFK, it makes sense to to say President Dante Wallace, i.e. to indirectly note that the portrait is in the new president's office.
