That is weird. It's probably a holdover from the fact that the superpage is called "Pokemon Villain Teams". If we do anything about it, then I'd say we don't need "Villain" in the name at all. Characters.Pokemon Team Yell was already created without it.

I'm fine with just removing "Villain" (as DragonRanger suggested) instead of changing it to "Villains", though the old locations might need to stick around as redirects (due to inbounds).

Characters.Pokemon Team Rocket, Characters.Pokemon Team Flare, etc. make more sense as page titles. Also, taking "villain" out will conveniently obscure Team Yell not actually being villains.

^If I'm not mistaken, the Ultra Recon Squad had "Villain" in their page's name at one point, even though they aren't villains.

Edit: Characters.Pokemon Villain Ultra Recon Squad exists as a redirect, and it has a high inbound count. Characters.Pokemon Ultra Recon Squad is the current location.

Is there anywhere else I can bring this up in?

^ We have a Characters Page Cleanup thread, if you want to use that.

Just be aware that it's slower than most cleanup threads, and people seem more interested in just saying "here's a bad characters page" rather than sticking around to actually help clean them up, but... it exists.
