I presume we're talking renaming the page, because this is (as I noted above) irrelevant to the Hunters story. So the page title is irrelevant to links that are made on another page? That's technically, factually incorrect. When you make a link, you use, either directly or through a redirect, the name of the page. If the name of a page is in doubt — and it really, legitimately is here — then you can't link to the page because you're then confirming the bad page title.

The tribe in AUC is not the Tribe of Gum, so therefore when these guys in Hunters say they're from the Tribe of Gum, they're naming a completely new tribe about which we currently don't have a page.

The way forward here is to move the current contents of Tribe of Gum to just the Tribe, and then start Tribe of Gum such that it contains info only from Hunters. If at some point it all needs to be merged, we can do that. But you and I both know that won't happen. Ultimately there's going to be some story reason why these guys are not the same guys from AUC.
