Well for the purposes of normal games the Vanilla Cop only does have a single definition, as does the godfather. Variants are actually being named to prevent confusion.

Oh. Never mind then. I missed that part.

I'm more sure about the vanilla cop anyway. (Mostly because I have argued the 'variant' should actually be the original role.) The variant is called a neopolitan.

I've seen the nightkill variant of the godfather referred to as a mafia tough guy on the wiki. I'm not sure if that one is being actively enforced or used in the normal queue. I mostly find it odd the role has survived the normalcy definition while all other roles that lead to misleading info have been purged.

The Wiki didn't seem very clear on whether it is common to name variants. The Normal guidelines were also at the bottom of the article (which made me overlook them). Would it not make more sense to make the Normal definition the primary definition on the Wiki and move the variations to a subsection at the bottom instead?

Well the primary definition does more or less match what's in the normal guideline section.

OP reminded me of this game:
http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=9454

Everyone had a useless power but it took us a while to realize it. I was a nurse just waiting for the doc to die so I could take over and of course there was no doc. So it was effectively an all vanilla game. I thought it was fun.

Also, this Godfather discussion is REEEEEEALLY showing who has been around a while and who hasn't. The idea that Godfather makes the kill is an old one and I didn't know it was still around. I'm pretty sure (but could be wrong) that immunity to investigation and NKs were both added later.
