Talk:Tecteun (Once, Upon Time)

Why there are three articles for a minor character like Tecteun, but a main character like the Master has a huge and - sorry - confusing article? I do not understand that. Why can't the information on the three incarnations of Tecteun in one article? (it would of course be better to finally split up the Master article ;-) Scott Eccles ☎  14:27, 11 December 2021 (UTC)


 * If I had fifty pence for every time someone has asked about why the Master page hasn't been split, I would genuinely have ten to twenty quid.


 * The simple reason that the Master hasn't been split is because it was ruled, a long time ago in the now defunct Forums, that the Master's incarnations would remain on one page, as at the time, only basic information was on the page and it wasn't worth splitting.


 * Since then, it has become one of the longest pages on the Wiki, far surpassing the recommended length for a page, and each incarnation has lots of information.


 * So of course, this page realistically will need to be split. However, we cannot do that until the Forums return, as one of our policies states that a Forum ruling can only be overturned in a Forum thread. :/


 * So it's all a matter of time, really. When the Forums are eventually brought back, I think that this may be one of the first threads to be opened, and I know that a lot of users have drafted up individual pages for incarnations, s othe split wwould be enacted quickly and cleanly.  📯 📂 15:03, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Rename proposal
Where did the name "Awsok Tecteun" come from? I understand why we don't want to just call her Awsok, since that name is credits-exclusive and, unlike Solpado, the character identifies herself on-screen by another name (Tecteun). But the present title is a weird way of incorporating an alias into a name (given that "Tecteun" isn't a title, it just looks like a first and last name), and it creates a suboptimal situation where manual piping will be required everywhere it's used, since there's no character called "Awsok Tecteun", just one or the other. Tecteun (Flux) would fix all of these issues. Does anyone have a better counterproposal? – n8 (☎) 21:07, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It's good for SEO, since anyone searching for this specific incarnation will undoubtedly search "Flux Tecteun" rather than digging through the credits to find "Awsok".
 * There's plenty of precedent for using multi-part series titles as dab terms, like Operative (Children of Earth) and The Cold (Interference).
 * It also enables the pipe trick, and "Awsok" would remain as a redirect.


 * I agree on that point, I personally feel that the current name is rather clunky, and doesn't feel very fitting, as she's either credited "Awsok" or "Tecteun", but never "Awsok Tecteun", and going by how she refers to herself in-universe, I feel the name proposed by Nate makes more sense, especially with a redirect for Awsok.
