Just to point out, one of the reasons for removing the prefixes was for ease of searching and for minimizing the steps necessary to trigger the auto-suggest. So those previous forums can be applicable for this question. If it was the exact same issue, there wouldn't even need to be a discussion here.

I know from personal experience that trying to get to the page Bernice Summerfield - list of appearances in either the search bar or auto-suggest necessitates typing all the way to the hyphen. One of User:CzechOut's arguments in favor of dropping prefixes in the previous decisions was to minimize that kind of extra work.

Just something to keep in mind as we discuss this.
