:::::: Users of this wiki are more affected by this decision than trans people who will never visit the page, and who wouldn't recognize the name "Rose Noble" if someone mentioned it to them. I asked two of my trans friends what they think- one who watches Doctor Who, and one who doesn't. The Doctor Who fan agreed with me, and the non-Doctor Who fan said "delete the whole wiki." For what it's worth, I think people tend to conglomerate around similar minds. A lot of people would not get much diversity of thought polling just their own friend groups about most topics.

::::::: Indeed, but the more people you ask, the more accurate your results will be. This is the basis of data collection. (Also note that forum threads are not as simple as counting how many individuals support one opinion or the other, many people chiming in on something just saying "I agree with this" without elaborating is functionally useless in a forum thread, but in this case it is useful to get as many trans people's opinions as possible as they are the affected party. I disagree that the users of the wiki will be more affected, as it is only a very small piece of trivia, and the only reason that I can think of that one would want to look it up would be to go on social media and call Rose only by her deadname, because, sadly, some people are a little mean like that. Of course, there may be other reasons. ''Also'', please do note that I am not accusing you in particular of wanting to do this, or indeed anybody, but I wanted to note that this is a thing that people might theoretically want to do, and I can, at this point in time, think of no more innocent explanation. Sorry, that was a long bracket that was slightly tangential to the overall conversation, I'll stop now.) {{User:Aquanafrahudy/Signature}} 09:11, 28 November 2023 (UTC) | |||
