I believe they're called Para Goggles. At the very least would it be possible to have a seperate link for the term Para Goggles which would redirect users to the Ecto Goggles page? 24.36.95.105

To be honest, I've never seen them called Para Goggles. I wouldn't be surprised however. Please share a link or something, and I'll stick up a redirect page. I am sure the name is right as GBFans.com and other sites use the term Ecto Goggles. However, different names for the equipment were floated around as the first movie never said what the names for most equipment was. Devilmanozzy 00:39, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Well the best I can find right now is this representative from Redfly calling them such in this video at 1:40

Ghostbusters The Video Game for Nintendo Wii Coming June 2009

Para goggles is now a redirect to Ecto goggles as it seems the Video Game is using the name for the equipment. As The Video Game was said by Dan Aykroyd to be Canon, we're have to keep an eye on this. Good catch guys. Devilmanozzy 05:44, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Ecto-Goggles? (with a hyphen)[]

The official Ghostbusters app (I have the iOS version but I imagine the same is on Android) lists the equipment as Ecto-Goggles with a hyphen. As this is an official app, should the name be stylized as such? Channeling.Spirits 14:25, November 7, 2021

The app, a thing that will maybe be around a year, tops. I have over the years seen both with and without a hyphen. A rename is something that the wiki would rather avoid, as even if the name has changed (more than a hyphen, like a spelling or something) it is a task to rename something as the wiki and then updating wiki links to avoid redirects, because redirects are bad for SEO. There is over a hundred articles with wiki links to "Ecto Goggles".  Devilmanozzy (Talk Page)  21:43, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
A simple no would suffice. What an asshole. Channeling.Spirits 23:42, November 7, 2021
Devilmanozzy isn't trying to be a jerk to you or be dismissive with your suggestion. Please, there's no need to resort to name calling. Let cooler heads prevail. As a compromise, we could use "Ecto-Goggles" in an also known as section in the infobox and blurb that needs to be added. I think I've seen the hyphenated spelling used in other instances but more research is needed. We'll look into it. Mrmichaelt (talk) 23:55, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
