:: I know you disagree, hence why this needs a proper discussion - PLEASE forums can you return soon 🙏. But yeah from my point of view it's much better to disambiguate using in-universe information wherever possible. As for searchability, searching "Trent Alexander-Arnold" will show you a single page known as "Trent (footballer)" - very little possibility for confusion. Precedent goes both ways, e.g. [[Billie (The Gathering)]], [[Fletcher (The Haunting of Villa Diodati)]], [[Jeremy (Party Fears Two)]], [[Lanz (Just War)]] just to name a few found within a couple of minutes. More opinions and more analysis of policy is the only way we can come up with the best way of standardising this naming policy.

:::I agree [[User:Epsilon the Eternal]]. We should strive to use in-universe information wherever possible, but in cases such as these, where a person from the real world is being referenced, using a full name and conjecture tag aids disambiguation, improves searchability and leads to less work in the long run. In these cases, where we use the full name of a topic from the real world with a conjecture tag, only sourced information should enter the body of the text (e.g. this person should only be named as '''Trent''' in the main text. His full name can be placed in the behind the scenes section). We already have multiple precedents for this; however, once the forums become available, I would say that this does formally need to be agreed upon and written up as part of the [[Template:Conjecture/doc]].[[User:66 Seconds|66 Seconds]] [[User talk:66 Seconds|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:48, 1 November 2021 (UTC) | |||
