:Just to note that I asked [[User:Spongebob456]] about the SEO issue, see their talk page. They said they'll get back to me. Seems from their comments that they ''think'' it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but that we should use pipeswitches over redirects internally for webcrawlers, as that does effect SEO slightly.

I'm unsure how much this overlaps with the exact proposal laid out in the OP but one relaxation to [[T:HONOUR]] I'd especially like to see is to do with the [[Spectrum (organisation)|Spectrum]] gang from ''[[Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons]]''. Our articles for the four main characters (Captain Scarlet, Captain Blue, Colonel White and Captain Black) used to have dabbed colours as page names ([[Scarlet (Captain Scarlet in Death Crash!)]], [[Blue (SPECTRUM is Green)]], [[White (SPECTRUM)]] and [[Black (Capt. Black Mars Expedition Lost!)]]) and other more minor yet recurring characters still face this same fate as can be seen in [[Green (SPECTRUM)]], [[Fawn (We Will Destroy Unity City)]] and [[Magenta (We Will Destroy Unity City)]]. Now, thanks to the story ''[[Traitor Black Gives In! (comic story)|Traitor Black Gives In!]]'' our main four currently have their pages under their real names ([[Paul Metcalf]], [[Adam Svenson]], [[Charles Grey]] and [[Conrad Turner]]) but I believe this situation to be far from ideal. | |||
The pages for these characters should be at their rank + colour combo in my opinion. They are the most recognisable names by far and the ones which will be pipeswitched 99% of the time. I'll also note that ''[[Marineville Ablaze (short story)|Marineville Ablaze]]'' gives Scarlet's surname as ''Metcalfe'' (which is actually the accepted spelling in proper ''Captain Scarlet'' circles) meaning a rename back to the dabbed colour might be on the cards. [[Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (short story)|A story]] discovered since the original rename would result in the rather fortuitous [[Scarlet (Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons)]] as the article name but why can't we cut out the middle man and leave him at [[Captain Scarlet]]?
