One reason for this proposal is that it is 'already the wiki's practice', if not policy. On almost every page that talks about the Tremas Master, he is referred to as such. It would be confusing for wiki-readers (or "the not-we") to click a link reading "Tremas Master" and instead arrive at "The Master (The Keeper of Traken)" instead.

A third (and final for now) reason is that, unlike [[Talk:The Master (Terror of the Autons)]], there are no other viable names (that I know of, feel free to correct me) other than, perhaps, the "Trakenite" Master, as that's the species of person he inhabits. However, the fan and wiki usage of this is much, much lower (if it exists at all, I've certainly never seen it). | One reason for this proposal is that it is 'already the wiki's practice', if not policy.

Rename proposal: Tremas Master
One reason for this proposal is that it is 'already the wiki's practice', if not policy. On almost every page that talks about the Tremas Master, he is referred to as such. It would be confusing for wiki-readers (or "the not-we") to click a link reading "Tremas Master" and instead arrive at "The Master (The Keeper of Traken)" instead. Another reason is that, other than "Ainley Master" (or Ainley!Master), it is the most common name for this incarnation of the Master in fandom, and this means they will be less confused when visiting the page (and they should be the ones visiting the page most often). A third (and final for now) reason is that, unlike Talk:The Master (Terror of the Autons), there are no other viable names (that I know of, feel free to correct me) other than, perhaps, the "Trakenite" Master, as that's the species of person he inhabits. However, the fan and wiki usage of this is much, much lower (if it exists at all, I've certainly never seen it). Cousin Ettolrhc ☎ 18:36, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
