There was a discussion about this in Ask The Tropers but it's getting buried so... here.

Basically, it's misused In Wiki as Suspiciously Similar Character. where a character is similar to another in another work; when the definition is "character is explicitly based on another character but is not meant to be the said character"

the opposition claims there are too many wicks for a rename to be viable, and that it is used properly out wiki.

That's a clean-up issue. The definition is clearly stated, the name is a preexisting term, one that is used off-wiki. You've given no reason why it needs TRS

Declining to open the thread.
