Okay, now that Puppet Johan Drossel is to be deleted (see this [[Talk:The Silver Turk (audio story)#Is_Johan_Drossel_a_puppet.3F|talk page]] for the reasons), we only have one puppet character page in existence and many in the pipeline. This is the best possible time to change my stance on what this pages should be called. (In fact, I'd like to rename the only current puppet page, [[Puppet Elisabeth of Austria]], too together with the page of the Empress herself, but that's a separate discussion.)

Okay, now that Puppet Johan Drossel is to be deleted (see this talk page for the reasons), we only have one puppet character page in existence and many in the pipeline. This is the best possible time to change my stance on what this pages should be called. (In fact, I'd like to rename the only current puppet page, Puppet Elisabeth of Austria, too together with the page of the Empress herself, but that's a separate discussion.)

What happened is that CzechOut in an unrelated thread mentioned something that we all know. As we type in the search field, we only get 6 hits. Thus, if we have a lot of Pages called Puppet ... then searching among them becomes a pain in the neck. So I now take the position that I believe was advocated by SOTO from the very beginning: to call the puppet characters Rolf Wittenmeier (puppet), Mitzi Wittenmeier (puppet), Ernst Bratfisch (puppet) etc.

Sorry for taking so long to warm up to this convention, but it is really important for me to understand why.
