Whatever is an honorary title of the Obscurity Portal. When granted, it gives its owner the right to present it as a middle name (or the last of the middle names if a person has several middle names already). For instance, John Whatever Smith.

One becomes eligible for the title after completing one of the following actions:

• Discovering a rule that defines whether a topic discussed on the Obscurity Portal is a “normal thing” or a “strange thing”
• Inventing an original game, which barely anyone is playing
• Posing as a character on the Portal
• Writing an obscure book and submitting it to be added as a page on the Obscurity Portal

Being eligible for the title does not guarantee getting the title, and the title is always granted by the Title Granting Committee.
