::Oh please, characterizing my objection like so is obvious question begging OS25. Without said argument there's no reason to think the rule is broken in the first place. As to Ettolrhc's objection, let me note that what they're suggesting is bad practice. We want to write <nowiki>[[Godparent (rank)|Godfather]] [[Sabbath (Movers)|]]</nowiki>, not <nowiki>[[Sabbath (Movers)|Godfather Sabbath]]</nowiki>. As for the idea that articles should be named after their most intuitive / most searched / (perhaps most linked) redirect, let me point you to the What Links Here page of [[First Great Time War]]. This is not policy and would probably make our lives as wiki editors much harder, or would encourage stagnation on the wiki.

:::Furthermore, let me suggest that this notion is ''precisely'' the reasoning that prevented characters like [[Odessa Smith]] or [[Nova Osgood]] from being located in the proper place for as long as they were. It should be rejected flat out.

I again emphasize that SEO is a valid reason to tweak the official rules. I do not think we absolutely need the honorifics in cases where we have proper names otherwise, it is clear that a page name like Sabbath (title) is far less useful to those searching online for information than simply the actual phrase they are likely to search for. [[Godfather Sabbath]] is a useful distinction because it immediately makes it clear to the reader how this character is different from [[Sabbath Dei]] - Sabbath Dei is not a "Godfather" we can assume. If Sabbath Dei does or does not appear in some random story titled ''Movers'' is not a useful distinction to most readers, thus it is not the best possible page name. Again, redirects do not help in this situation. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]][[User Talk:OttselSpy25|🤙☎️]] 21:17, 26 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
