Rename discussion (09:57, 12 October 2020)[[edit source]]
I see that on the stated date, User:Jack "BtR" Saxon added a rename template to this page but neglected to kickstart a discussion so... does anyone have anything AGAINST renaming this page? Any suggestions for a name? I do think it should be better disambiguated from the episode, considering I expected to find the episode when I typed "blink" in the search bar and mindlessly hit enter without checking the suggestions (and to be fair, the episode is more immediately relevant/useful to the show than a definition for something people should already be fairly familiar with if they have normal reflexes), but beyond that I don't have much to say.– The preceding unsigned comment was added by Macks2010 (talk • contribs) .
- It's policy on this wiki that in-universe article titles will have the non-disambiguated name while story titles of any kind, no matter how well-known, have the disamb term. It's also policy that we only have articles for nouns, which is why User:Jack "BtR" Saxon proposed "blinking", but there's really no reason to rename since blink can be a noun.
