Can someone explain to me why the mention of the Headless Monks in Time of Angels has been removed? The user that originally removed the mention explicitly claimed they did not recall the mention as justification for removing it. After it being pointed out, they've then claimed that mentions aren't allowed. But as far as I can tell there are plenty of pages on this wiki with lists of mentions in the box ([[Dalek]] jumps out at me for instance). Am I missing some of this wiki's policy? - I have my own wiki to run, so I generally don't get overly caught up in others; but this seems a little bit of a weird procedure to me.

Okay, so it's just some poor editor explanation then; thanks for clearing that up. -  Would I be right in assuming that the reason for not having a 'mentions' section in the infobox  (when they are in other pages) would be the relative 'lack of mentions' up to this point?  [[User:Baziel|Baziel]] 19:35, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

:What was poor about my explanation? I removed the info because I wasn't sure if they had actually been mentioned. Then, after it was confirmed that they had been mentioned, I removed the info again because there wasn't a "mentioned" section. It seems to me that it was more like some poor double-checking of the facts--you didn't know that the template didn't have a "mentioned" section. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:darkblue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 19:41, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

"Headless Monk" is by far the most common reference, so we should move the page to that per T:NAMING. However, I wanted to see if anyone can give a precise (with time code) citation for "Order of the Headless", or whether there was some rationale for "Order of the Headless" over "Order of the Headless Monks".

I don't have access to the DVD right now, but the phrase is used in the scene where the Fat One is to be "initiated". A voice says, "Welcome, applicant, to the order of the Headless." Shambala108 ☎ 03:38, April 8, 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to point out that "Headless Monk" and "Order of the Headless [Monks]" are two different things. The former refers to an individual, while the latter refers to the group. It seems that both pages should exist, each describing the appropriate thing, in the same way that there exist pages for both Silent and The Silence.
