Do not fill this in! == Spiderdemon == Why did you rename "spider mastermind" into "spiderdemon"? I know it's named "spiderdemon" in the first Doom game, but every Doom game released after it (including Ultimate Doom) has called it "spider mastermind", so one could imagine that id "officially" wanted to change its name into that. -- [[User:Janizdreg|Janizdreg]] 23:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC) : By taking anything beyond [[Doom II]] as secondary (including [[The Ultimate Doom]], which half the main developers didn't have anything to do with), and [[Doom]] over Doom II if there's a contradiction, since it's the original thing. Keep in mind that ''spider mastermind'' comes from ''spiderdemon'' (it means "spiderdemon that masterminded the invasion"). <small>[[User:Who is like God?|Who is like God?]] 23:53, 11 May 2008 (UTC)</small> ::I'd still say that whichever id considers to be the official name should be used. But until we can find it out, I guess we should prefer "spiderdemon", as per the rationale you mentioned. -- [[User:Janizdreg|Janizdreg]] 20:58, 15 May 2008 (UTC) ::FYI (in case anybody cares), before the release of Doom 2 there was at least one publication referring to the spiderdemon as the Spider Mastermind: "The Doom Battlebook" by Rick Barba. (Not the re-release with an Ultimate Doom walkthrough.) For this wiki we're treating the original game, not guidebooks, as gospel but I thought someone might be interested to know.
