"Dooke" is the alternate name[edit]
In the data files, this enemy's name is "Dooke" (pronounced as doo-keh)
Will you change the page's name?

- Per the article naming policies, names from guides currently take priority over names from the game's data.

- I do think that official romanizations of the same name from internal data are fair game, though. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:44, May 29, 2026 (UTC)
- Fair enough. We reckon a redirect is entirely fair game. It is an official romanization from an official source, but we'd prefer to err on the most-prioritized source for the name of the page itself, and unlike something like Fiery Dino Piranha/Dino Piranha (black), there's not really much individualized about the lower-priority name to make us feel like carving an exception for moving the page outright. ~Camwoodstock ( talk ☯ contribs ) 23:52, May 29, 2026 (UTC)
- I do think you should take a look at how the Jungle Beat enemies are handled, as those frequently use official romanizations/translations of the Japanese names from the files (ie, replacing "Buta" in the JP name with "Pig" in the files). Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:54, May 29, 2026 (UTC)
