:::: 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.)

::::: In my opinion, our policy should be that a character's name on the wiki should be written as it appears in the most sources. For instance, [[Mr. Bean]] should be at that page because that is his name, period included. It would be bonkers to list the character at [[Mr Bean]] or, worse, [[Bean (Dennis the Menace in Balloonatics)]].

I think we need a more consistent policy in these cases. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]][[User Talk:OttselSpy25|🤙☎️]] 19:34, 30 May 2023 (UTC) | ||
