:Well, at least now there's a canonically official spelling. I recommend moving it to the correct article name, but you may need to delete a redirect page that occupies that space first. This may cause history to get messy, so be careful. Contact Joe if you're unsure (like me). --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 09:16, 5 January 2006 (EST) | :Well, at least now there's a canonically official spelling.

:::Good idea. There are a LOT of instances of Serena, so I'm going to hate to have to change them. I'll check the credits of Saga of a Star World and Lost Planet of the Gods before I do anything. I may post screenshots as evidence (then we can delete them after everybody is satisfied).--[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:14, 5 January 2006 (EST) | :::Good idea.

Fortunately a lot of the content added by Mokwella had the "correct" spelling. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 09:43, 6 January 2006 (EST) | ||

Well... it looks like there may be some work to do. I checked the beginning of Saga of a Starworld, and it also is spelled "Serina". Actually, it was pretty lucky that it even was on Lost Planet of the Gods, since all the other guests didn't have their names listed with an "as" other than her. Where should we go from here?--[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 20:05, 5 January 2006 (EST) | Well... it looks like there may be some work to do.

I was about to make a redirect from "Serena" to this page (I had typed in "Serena" and gotten the "page does not exist" notice, then I searched for "Serena" and found this page), but the log says that Joe deleted it already as an "unused redirect". How can one tell if a redirect is used or not, and why should one care? -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 21:16, 30 April 2008 (UTC) | I was about to make a redirect from "Serena" to this page (I had typed in "Serena" and gotten the "page does not exist" notice, then I searched for "Serena" and found this page), but the log says that Joe deleted it already as an "unused redirect".

:Rule of thumb: If it's a spelling error you think others are likely to make, it merits a redirect. Since you actually committed that error, and since "Serena" is a common first name (peaked at 209th most popular in 2000), while "Serina" is not (peaked at 959th in 1998), I'd say go for it. --[[User: | :Rule of thumb: If it's a spelling error you think others are likely to make, it merits a redirect.

::Indeed, it's the most common way that fans spell it, even though it's a letter off. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 22:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC) | ::Indeed, it's the most common way that fans spell it, even though it's a letter off. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 22:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC) | ||
