Well if I keep spamming the naming thread in posts of new characters in the future, maybe we will get more entries to submit.
I didn’t even know where the naming committee was for the past 2 years until I mentioned a name or saw a suggestion and you pointed me to it just this season.

I don’t always pay close attention to new characters needing names, but I did this time because it seemed like a hot commodity. The best time to make a name poll on /r/listofponies is when people are actively excited about naming a pony that wasn’t named by Hasbro.

Above my head; talk to ImperfectXIII about it, but I don’t see any kind of official collaboration between the wiki and Derpibooru anytime soon, or even how that would happen. What we at the wiki normally do is after a name becomes popular on Derpibooru and is given a character tag, a name poll for the wiki on /r/listofponies is made, and the posting makes an entry directly referencing the popular Derpibooru name, which then can be upvoted by other people so that it also becomes the wiki’s placeholder name on the big List of ponies - This list is subdivided into Earth mares, Earth stallions, Unicorns, Pegasi, non-ponies (which is further subdivided into smaller lists for each species), and other types of characters, like foals, or mentioned (unseen) characters.
And yes, it is always my goal to make sure Derpibooru tags and wiki placeholder names match up. It drives me crazy when they don’t, which has happened occasionally.
Despite treating the packages as bad as real delivery services do, note that the cake arrived in perfect condition. Derpy was the only one to ruin the outside card.

This.
You just cannot be mad at Derpy.

Derpy just doesn´t know what went wrong.
LoL True!
Indeed… to protest about all the missing packages and letters sent to the wrong address XD
Exactly! If Derpy worked at my local P.O., I’d be there every day! :D

“ folks, ‘we don’t know what went wrong’ is our motto!”
At least they’re adorable.

Have you guys ever considered just directing reddit s here to discuss naming?
It would be nice to get both sites on the same names.

Orange pony
Blue pony
Purple pony
Edited because: Derpi tags and wiki names should be the same.
We deliver!
…to the wrong pony.

The shape in the center looks like a hexagon to me, not a circle.
