Our primary concern with page naming is to choose the names that will be in ''most'' people's minds as they search. It does no good to have the most complete name for a page — like Odessa Smith or Sakkoth — if the majority of users can't ''possibly'' know that name from experiencing the most ubiquitous version of a story. Remember, Tardis is being built for the '''[[not we]]'''. Therefore, we must first get people to the page, and ''then'' educate them on the finer details. | Our primary concern with page naming is to choose the names that will be in ''most'' people's minds as they search.

The other technical point is that in the majority of cases, the page is at something like '''Function of character (Story Name)''' or '''Somebody's relative'''. Changing it around would involve a lot of work by the admin staff for no particular return. I know it's exciting that we've got these new novelisations, but they aren't cause to rip up the wiki and do a lot of page moves for what are really minor characters. If you happen to know the name of a minor character because of your reading, great! You should '''definitely''' have a redirect to reward your knowledge. But with the availability of redirects, there is no cause to do a lot of page moves. | The other technical point is that in the majority of cases, the page is at something like '''Function of character (Story Name)''' or '''Somebody's relative'''.
