It's come to my attention recently that a lot of pages are being renamed to other things. For instance, Ash-Zilla was renamed to "Ashzeegee" because "his brother is a Malleo, so...." Though there were some good renames (like Sanic to Sanic Hegehog), the renaming edit wars have happened many times before, and it will not happen again. Renaming edit wars are a big pain, especially when a bunch of random redirects are left.

From now on, you cannot rename a page without a very good reason, unless it is your own. Please leave a good summary on why you made the change. Before renaming, you must either ask the creator (if he is active) if you can rename the page, or, if he's not active, leave a comment asking what people would think of it.

People who rename pages for no good reason from now on will have the page renamed back (without a redirect if possible), and if the user decides to rename it AGAIN, it will be renamed back with rename-protection set to admin only.

I'm aware I didn't exactly discuss this beforehand, but I would think something like renaming a page would have some of this as common sense. If I just went and renamed the Trolliverse to the UMadiverse without any rhyme or reason, I'm pretty sure most people would be upset and rename it back.
