:::I agree with both points, but of course this means that we have two dimensions to be put in a one-dimensional list. I personally would like the official sites and social media content to be given a little more relevance to make the list a bit more up-to-date (this content isn't just "Names used in official licensed media" anymore, these are first party sources), but I agree that this shouldn't come at the expense of no longer keeping the original name priority rule in place.
