::: Fortunately for [[T:HONOUR]], there are pages [[Miss Marple (series)]] and [[Doctor Strange (film)]] that should have {{tlx|you may}} to the character pages for those users who are not familiar with our policies. There are plenty of DWU characters that are almost universally referred to with some kind of honourifics, [[Sergeant Benton]] comes to mind. There are characters that are only referred to once or twice, and with an honourific,. It is, in fact, better to apply the rule uniformly than to make readers guess how deep into the DWU a given character embedded, and whether it was featured in the [[Land of Fiction]], etc., to determine whether T:HONOUR applies or not. It's not like anyone would mistake Miss for a first name. I would be more careful with [[Little Lord Fauntleroy]] because that is not a standard honourific, but Miss, Doctor, Captain, etc. are stripped for everyone.

::: You know what, let's meet halfway. I think I figured the optimal way in terms of minimising the number of clicks. If the character page is '''Marple''', the series page is [[Miss Marple (series)]], and there is a redirect from '''Miss Marple''' to Marple, then | |||
* a person who goes by the wiki's naming policy gets to this page in one click; | |||
* a person who types "Miss Marple" is instead presented with two options and can choose among them, also in one click. [[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:49, November 7, 2017 (UTC) | |||
