::: I completely support allowing honourfics and epithets in page titles. And while we are at it, I want to make it fully clear if a story names a character '''Mx. Personname''', we keep the full stop and do not do '''Mx Personname''', [[T:BRENG]] be damned. Besides, we need that exception, otherwise we would be forced to change every single time '''Dr. Who''' is used on the Wiki which is a lot. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 20:29, 28 May 2023 (UTC) | ::: I completely support allowing honourfics and epithets in page titles.

:::: I've got a lot of thinking to do about the primary discussion going on here, but just as a thought for now on Epsilon's point - [[Dr. Who]] currently exists... but the wording of [[T:HONOUR]] at the moment explicitly disallows the use of periods on the end of Dr, as per usual British English rules. Dr. Who's page seems to have (sensibly) always been listed at Dr. Who. And I believe all his stories from 1965 to even his most recent in 2022 do refer to him as such: Dr. Who. As such, that part of T:HONOUR definitely requires examination for either an exemption or a complete overhaul of that rule. (T:SPELL probably also needs explicit notation that Dr. Who's page, the Cushing film credits & the Hartnell era cast section listings are exceptions to the British spelling rules on this basis, too.)
