:::::Even setting aside the external discoverability back-and-forth, I spelled out exactly how redirects will not solve the problem for internal discoverability, which you have not addressed. I would have been happy to elaborate on my suggestion, but you did not ask for elaboration; instead, you preemptively said that any feasible interpretation would "seem unpalatable". Not to repeat myself yet again, but I would love to hear a proposal from you that would meet the criteria you have set out. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 02:17, 13 June 2023 (UTC) | :::::Even setting aside the external discoverability back-and-forth, I spelled out exactly how redirects will not solve the problem for internal discoverability, which you have not addressed.

I apologize, you're correct, I didn't address | |||
:search is the domain of the page title alone | |||
But the reason I didn't address this is because it's just not true. Try it yourself. Search for "Black Sun War", type it out in the search bar. As soon as I get to "Black su" "First Great Time War" appears as a suggestion. Redirects handle search internally as well. Is it 100% optimal? Probably not. I get other things suggested to me as well, and I know that wiki search can be frustrating for people. But this isn't an impossibility, and it's something we should at least ''attempt'' before throwing up our arms in frustration and adopting a new policy that adds more ambiguity and contradiction to our rules. | |||
Quite frankly, I don't think such a proposal is possible ''given the examples people have chosen as representative''. I think Vastra, for instance, is a horrible case study for this policy, and Sabbath is relatively poor. Potentially possible, but not helpful as a case study. If we're going to do something like this, I think the only approach that's viable is something along the Fugitive/War Doctor precedent, where ''official marketing'' consistently and repeatedly refers to them through use of their epithet / honorific. It cuts off many of the examples people seem to want at the knees though, so I don't think it's a relatively popular option.
