Pope Alexander I/Talk

When did we start this Pope+name convention?

See MichaelTinkler (this morning, U.S.A. EST, someone put in a buncha Pope Alexanders. I'm kinda convinced, but confused enough about how the various systems are supposed to/going to work that I'm just going to edit entries and say to hell with the nomenclature until it shakes itself out.

I used the convention when Wikifying the EB11 article titles, because it was a good way to disambiguate Pope Alexander from various Kings Alexander, Pope Anastasius from Emperor Anastasius, etc. It's also a common English idiom (i.e., people generally do say "Pope John Paul II"). --LDC

I think this is an excellent idea, myself. There's definitely an ambiguity/namespace problem when it comes to people referred to by just one name, particularly royalty. --LMS
