:Firstly, I agree the page should be moved back. "Foreman" is a part of the character's identity both in-universe and out. But also, I just noticed that [[T:DAB]] still uses [[Susan]] as an example of a page which should be a disambiguation page! While that policy does have a section on primary topics, I don't think that applies here. It first says common English names should always be disambiguation pages. So not only do I think [[Susan Foreman]] is a better page title, but we should not even be using the page [[Susan]] for her— both because that page is supposed to be a disambiguation, and because she actually has a last name to use. The concept of primary topics is much about what readers would search for, and I'd argue that's more likely to be Susan Foreman than just Susan.

:: It's past time we did the move back. But I have to disagree. [[T:DAB]] can just be updated with a different example. There's no reason the dab page can't just stya at [[Susan (disambiguation)]]; indeed, when we're through with more urgent matters, I am of a mind to put forward a motion in the Temp Forums to make the "(disambiguation)" dab term mandatory for all disambiguation page, like story dabs, rather than the inconsistent hodgepodge we have now.
