Name removal
Hi, the wiki has a process for name changes, and normally your request would suffice. But the wiki prides itself in representing information consistently, so in your situation I need to point out that, yes, this creates an above-average hassle. Removing the real name only from your own page makes little sense unless it is also removed everywhere else, which means renaming your category and updating 70-80 pages. Some of that can be scripted, but it is still a significant effort, while the real name remains  anyway, and remains well known for such a long-time and respected community member. So I'd like to ask: is it really meaningful and important to make this change?

Btw, regardless of the real name, keeping the former "doom_kid" alias in the article is useful so that searches for this old spelling (e.g. because of ) still lead to the correct result. --Xymph (talk) 03:59, 25 May 2022 (CDT)
