**If the subject's name is different between versions, names in the mobile and/or PC versions take priority. For example, [[Bee Keeper (BTD5)]] is named "Beekeeper" in ''BTD5'' (Flash) and ''BTD5 Deluxe'', but is named "Bee Keeper" in the mobile, PC, and console versions, so the name in those versions is used.

==~~Distinguishers~~==

==Identifiers==

~~Distinguishers~~ are those words or abbreviations in parentheses used to distinguish subjects with the same or similar names.

Identifiers are those words or abbreviations in parentheses used to distinguish subjects with the same or similar names.

*In general, if two different subjects share the same name (or the name is only different in capitalization or punctuation, such as [[Super Monkey (BTD6)]] and [[Supermonkey (BATTD)]]), then both subjects are given ~~a distinguisher~~. If one subject is clearly more popular than the other, such as [[~~Scoop~~]] ~~(the character)~~ and [[~~Scoop~~ (level)]], then the more popular subject does not need ~~a distinguisher~~.

*In general, if two different subjects share the same name (or the name is only different in capitalization or punctuation, such as [[Super Monkey (BTD6)]] and [[Supermonkey (BATTD)]]), then both subjects are given an identifier. If one subject is clearly more popular than the other, such as [[Down the Drain]] and [[Down the Drain (level)]], then the more popular subject does not need an identifier.

*Typically, subjects are distinguished either with [[Blooncyclopedia:Game abbreviations|abbreviations]] of the games/titles they appear in (i.e. [[Quincy (BTD6)]], [[Quincy (Bloons Pop!)]], and [[Quincy (Battles 2)]]), or by what kind of thing the subject is (i.e. [[Garlic Bomb (upgrade)]] and [[Garlic Bomb (weapon)]]). In rare cases, the subjects may need to be distinguished by some other factor (i.e. [[Twin Darts (tier 2)]] and [[Twin Darts (tier 6)]]), or have multiple ~~distinguishers~~ (i.e. [[Double Shot (BTD6) (Monkey Buccaneer)]] and [[Double Shot (BTD6) (Ninja Monkey)]]).
