Talk:Charlie Smith

Rename

This page doesn't need a rename at all. By Tardis:Disambiguation, the dab term should be the title of the first appearance, as it already is. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 13:37, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

• I disagree. It should be Charlie (Class) as that is what people will search for, pending the eventual reveal of his surname. 23skidoo ☎ 16:11, October 29, 2016 (UTC)

It is a bit pointless disagreeing with the current policy: unless it is changed by a discussion on Panopticon, we are all bound to it. And changing it would have required an enormous man/womanpower to rename about half of character pages. However, on the topic of search easiness, I would respectfully disagree that using "Class" in the name is a good idea. In fact, I'm extremely mad at the showrunners for using such a generic name instead of, say "Coal Hill Class". I tried Googling for the show itself multiple times. It's the worst name ever. Finding it typically requires two-three more additional keywords even within a specialised website. Even now, with all the hype and with my biased search history, a Google search for "Charlie Class" does not land a viable result visible on my big display (the top result is "Charlie-class submarine" on Wikipedia). Now let us fast forward after all Class broadcasts are history. Searching for "Charlie Class" then would be completely and utterly hopeless. At the same time, already typing "Charli" in the search box of this Wikia yields "Charlie (For Tonight We Might Die)" among the six suggestions. So there is absolutely no problem finding the character as is. Amorkuz ☎ 09:12, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

• It should be "Charlie Smith (Class)", since that's his full name.

Did you find this full name in an in-universe source (TV episode or book)? Amorkuz ☎ 09:12, October 31, 2016 (UTC)
