Forum:Removing the unknowns

We have a lot of pages with the word "unknown" or "unnamed" in the title. This is because we have a little bit of info about the character/episode/item and we are expecting a proper name to be given at some point in the future. For some of these it's appropriate, but for others, it seems like it makes the page name unnecessarily long. A simpler name would work just as well.

I could rename the pages without asking, since it would help conform to our naming policy. But since it's a major change to the wiki, I want to run this by everyone first and see if there are any changes before I do it. There is also a few that I need some help with to figure out what they should be renamed to. Those are blank for the proposed name. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 23:32, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

A * indicates that it is a redirect already in place that would be deleted to make room for the new page name.

For each of the agents, I could have gone with something like "Dog agent" or "Monkey agent", but we already have Dennis as a bus driver and Dennis as an agent and the latter is already listed as "Dennis (Agent)", so they all should be changed to a standardized naming format. If they've specifically been given a code name like "Agent P", we would use that instead.

By giving them names like this, it allows us to use a neat trick when we need to refer to the agent in a generic manner like "the monkey". You type in   the monkey (Agent)   and it displays as  the monkey . Saves a little bit so you don't have to put in   the monkey  .
