	I'm a little confused, Derik, by your seemingly sudden passion for this issue. Like the others said above, we discussed this months ago and decided to drop the suffixes that existed on every character article. Creating a redirect with a suffix for every character article just re-opens all the problems that existed when we were putting the articles in those spaces (as opposed to redirects). Go re-read archives 2 and 3 of the community portal talk page. When a name that was never re-used before gets its first re-use and we need to fix links for it... it's not hard to do. In most cases there will only be a few links to the character page anyway. There are bots written by Wikipedia users that can do this sort of fix automatically, too, so it doesn't even have to involve work for we human editors. --[[User:Steve-o\|Steve-o]] 04:03, 5 February 2007 (UTC)<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>		I'm a little confused, Derik, by your seemingly sudden passion for this issue.

			:::Researching your links as you write an article should be required. That's a given for every single link I will ever make in any article I ever write, regardless of whether it's Transformers or not. If I'm writing something on Wikipedia, I will ''certainly'' have to look up to see how to link to "White" if I'm linking the color. It's part of the process. I mean, there's at least an album, probably some things I've never heard of. But I'm pretty darn sure Wikipedia doesn't "(blah)" every single darn article name link just in case someone creates something new with an old name.
			:::The thing is, your method still doesn't keep us from having to fix links as new things are created. What if there ends up being more than one G1 Mainframe? (Hell, there is already, if you count the G.I. Joe as G1.) Then you still have to recreate all those links. So forget about it. Please.
