:: I know you disagree, hence why this needs a proper discussion - PLEASE forums can you return soon 🙏.

Rename proposition

We really need to have a proper discussion on this, but as it stands this is really not what the conjecture tag is for. Although it is not specifically disallowed, Template:Conjecture/doc states that the tag is for when we have to make up a name in order to name the page in a sensible manner. Just mentioning this before any mod goes and moves the page without discussion - this is not an uncontroversial change. Danochy 11:12, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

I kinda disagree - see, there are other Trents in the DWU, so on just that count, moving this page for better disambigution would be preferable. Second of all, using the full name would improve searchability. Thirdly, there is ample precedent for this type of name change. 11:22, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
