:::Personally, I often use url field directly when looking up something in any wiki, so search box is of little use to me. I may be a minority, but it's worth considering. A character instrumental for entire show should have his disambigiation bound to a single episode --[[User:Глючарина|Глючарина]] [[User talk:Глючарина|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 10:53, October 31, 2016 (UTC) | :::Personally, I often use url field directly when looking up something in any wiki, so search box is of little use to me.

::::I'm sure we'll get his last name from a valid source soon anyway, so changing the disambig term is pointless, better to just wait until he's called "Smith" on screen.

:::: Well, with all due respect, if you yourself do not care whether [[T:NON-ENG USER|others can read your name]], I'm not sure why others should care that you would not use the search functionality specifically developed for your use. I can only hope that your name is not something [[T:OFF USER|offensive]] in whatever language you're using. | |||
:::: Answering your concern more directly, there is a proviso in the policy [[T:DAB]] that a '''primary topic''' can be written without a dab term. If you'd like to propose that a character who only appeared in 6 stories so far and is one of a group of six main characters for one spin-off in a 50+-year history of the show - that this character is a primary topic, you can open a discussion on Panopticon. Good luck with that: I couldn't even [[Thread:183821|persuade people]] that [[Osgood (The Day of the Doctor)]] is a primary topic.
