Hey. I know that the youtube videos/movies/show/cartoon have some discrepancies, so I have some questions:

- What's the precedence of lore? I've been assuming it's web series > movies > show > cartoon or web series > cartoon > movies > show, but I'm not actually sure what material is more canonical-- unless they all are, then jfc Fred's been through a lot lmao (However the 'childhood best friends' bit in the show does especially throw me off somewhat because that was certainly not the case in the web series/cartoon.)

- The canon lore question also brings me to this-- should we rename the articles? Such as:

Hilda Figglehorn --> Fred's Mom

Fergus Figglehorn --> Fred's Dad

Kevin Dawg --> Kevin

Judy Munsley --> Judy

Thalia Dawg --> Thalia, etc.

And we list their full names with the 'full name' row of the infobox?

The reason I'm asking about this kind of major renaming edit is because each article seems to be about the general character and there are some that have different versions of themselves across the multiple series.

Kevin's last name has been explicitly stated as Libo in the first two movies, yet it's Dawg in the show. Bertha's last name is implied to be Friendoffred iirc reading about it on TV Tropes (I have yet to see the show), yet her article is still named simply 'Bertha.' Munsley, afaik, is only confirmed through the cartoon. Neither Judy nor Kevin have been given last names on the web series. Hilda/Hildegard and Cherie is also a discrepancy for Fred's mom, who has not been explicitly named in the web series (afaik) as well. Thalia only appears in the movies, so then by movie canon, shouldn't her article be named 'Thalia Libo' instead of Dawg? Although I understand the 'filling the gaps' sort of thing, like with Munsley since it doesn't seem to conflict with the movie/web series lore (due to her lack of last name there), what makes Dawg take precedence over Libo?

We obviously know Fred is for sure 'Fred Figglehorn' across all series. But for the other characters, it's doesn't seem as consistent. So I think renaming them in a more general sense might be better for the consistency. Thoughts?

EDIT: Removed the bit about physical descriptions, bc I figure we can have an article section that expands on that in addition to what's in the infobox.
