::[[User:Chubby Potato|Chubby Potato]], I agree with everything you've said here, down to moving names from leads to a "Names" section – I suggested the same thing above, citing [[Aliases of the Doctor]], without any idea that such a thing already existed on [[N-Space#Names|N-Space]]. And I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I'd forgotten [[T:LEADS]] existed! Your formulation of "a section as the answer to the question posed by its header" is elegantly phrased and, as a principle, describes our current practices very aptly – in fact, its explicit adoption would lead to so few implications outside of precedent (by my reckoning, none!) that I wouldn't be surprised if it could be officially adopted without a forum thread, similarly to the process which gave us [[T:MERGE]]. Codifying that would go a long way towards clearing up the dispute in this thread, and it's a compelling next step, even if surely it can't be accomplished within the 3 week allotment. Until we can sort it out, I can accept Scrooge's suggestion of "no bio summaries" in the meantime. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 23:05, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

:::Something I haven't seen mentioned, and I just thought about it, what does this proposal do for our SEO? I seem to recall Czech killing a few proposals because they would futz with our SEO. (In particular, moving everything to a biography page sans summary might do this.) [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:06, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
