CK for Wizards of the Coast / Wizards RPG Team - RFC

Wizards of the Coast has a CK Canonical Name of Wizards RPG Team. This seems to be to fix Amazon data with varying orders and capitalization. I want to change it to Wizards of the Coast, since not all item listed under them are RPG items.

For example: Magic: The Gathering: Rise of the Gatewatch: A Visual History and Dungeon!

Thoughts, Comments?

What does it convert to if you just remove the canonical name?

>2 gilroy: Wizards Rpg Team. The capitalization is off.

If Wizards RPG Team and Wizards of the Coast are not entirely the same author, you could consider separating these authors into distinct entities. You can do this via the link examine and separate out names in the lower right part of the author page. If you want help with that, give a shout!

>4 SimoneA:

"Wizards RPG Team" is not an actual entity, nor is it found on any real credits page that I am aware of. It also is not a fixed group. It seems to exist solely as a way for booksellers (including Amazon, Random House, and Walmart) to list a single author for the D&D books produced by WotC. Additionally, people seem to often list items using the two interchangeably. Player's Handbook has ~50% of editions as a variant of Wizards RPG Team, and ~10% as Wizards of the Coast or variants (copy counts lean more heavily to the former).

I agree with changing the canonical name to Wizards of the Coast since there is no real group called Wizards RPG Team
