Re the proposed rename. I don't think it's necessary. We already have the dab term "number" for other numbers, and i ''is'' a number (it's specifically called an imaginary '''number''').

:I agree. (number) is a more specific dab term, since the "i" could, in other contexts, be a {{w|Variable (mathematics)|varialbe}} or a {{w|Parameter (computer programming)|parameter}} for example. Having the current dab term automatically shows the reader ''what'' part of math this article covers.
