However, this is really a bad way to name pages, since universes can have an infinite number of dimensions in it (unless of course, the author of a show states otherwise). This means that there could be 700 dimensions in say, Earth-3, which means there's a 666th Dimension, and that dimension could have a Ben Tennyson in it.

Because I think that I should have the right to have my own "Dimension 63" in my series without having the name already taken by someone else who already made a "Ben Tennyson (Dimension 63)", I suggest we change these pages to " Character Name (Dimension #, Earth-#). " If they're in the BTFF Multiverse, then the name would end at that, and of course if they're in a different multiverse, the name would be "Character Name (Dimension #, Earth-#, Name of Multiverse)."

Why I think this would be better:
 * Allows you to have a Dimension # without editing another person's page or being forced to choose a crazy Dimension # like Dimension 2351. Just because there's a Ben Tennyson (Dimension 0) shouldn't mean that you haven't have a dimension called Dimension 0 in your series.
 * Its a form of organization: At a time when we're beginning to use the "Character Name (Earth-#)" naming system on the wiki, using the "Character Name (Dimension #)" naming system is just confusing. If we were to add the Earth-# to the name, then we would know exactly what universe its from.
 * If you had to pay money to own a dimension or a universe, a Dimension would not cost as much as a universe. I don't believe that under normal circumstances (dimensions identified with a number) they should only be owned by one user.

Now of course, there would be some rules. If we were to do this, there could be multiple Dimension 666's, but they could be exact copies of the original Dimension 666. Meaning that if the characteristics of a dimension were stolen, then that page for that version of Dimension 666 would be deleted.

The Name changes would go for all pages with a Dimension #, including pages about the Dimensions themselves, characters, aliens with Dimension #'s, etc.

So comment below, let me know what you think if its a bad or good idea. If you make up your mind, then use the support and oppose templates like this:
