As I said, standard wiki practice is name articles by most commonly used name. Full name as article title has never been the requirement. Full name is still listed in article, so details aren't being lost. "John Murphy" is his "real" name and the wiki is being "exact".

Go to Wikipedia and convinces them to rename "Bill Clinton" to "William Clinton". Also convince them rename "Brad Pitt" to "William Pitt" (btw, "Brad" is short for "Bradley" which is Pitt's middle name, so article not only chooses to use middle name instead of his "real" name, it also chooses to use short form of name, which again according to use is not "real"). If you can successfully get those two articles moved, then you'll have a case for your "real"/"exact" name article title argument.

A couple other examples: The MCU wiki chooses to use character's superhero name instead of "real" name, e.g. article is titled "Iron Man" not "Anthony Stark". Actor Michael Caine's wikipedia article was named "Michael Caine" since 2002 (when the page was created). However, his legal name until 2016 was "Maurice Micklewhite". That means wiki intentionally choose to use a "fake"/stage name over his "real"/legal name even though his legal name was known and listed on the page.

I think you're confusing legal name with "real" name. A legal name is a "real" name, but it's not the only "real" name. Someone named William who chooses to go by Bill, "Bill" is his real name and so is "William". I also know plenty of women who choose to go by their maiden name at work even though they chose to legally change their name when they married. Are you saying they're lying? Another example is a dual citizen who has different legal names in their different countries.

"if Murphy had an ID then it would be Jonathan" - wrong, go back to the pilot, you'll see his name is listed as John Murphy in the Ark's official files.

I never said JR lied, I said, "One tweet does not overrule a name used across five seasons." That has nothing to do with trusting JR, it has to do with material presented on the show taking precedence over material presented in external sources. Also, minor detail since we're trying to be exact, JR never said Murphy doesn't like Jonathan, he said that no one calls Murphy that.

Dark year was basically an empty page and, more importantly, failed to meet this wiki's policy for page creation. Wonkru page's history section is sufficient. If 5x11 adds so much info that it cannot be contained within Wonkru page, then that would be a more appropriate time for page creation.
