| I'm also curious about whether we should keep the "05-032" in the title of this article. In the fiction and in this wiki, he's rarely referred to by his full designation, as opposed to, say, 343 Guilty Spark.

| :While I personally prefer the abstract symbol as Bias' most representative image since a small metal bucket doesn't really do justice to a mind of the extent and complexity of a Contender ancilla, I can't deny that the three-eyed design has apparently become Mendicant's default or most recognizable "avatar". However, I generally hold that a mild contradiction (such as MB's teardrop casing) is not a retcon unless specifically stated to be one or unless the two versions cannot be reconciled in any way. In this case, the use of the three-eyed design in the H2A terminals may be a retcon, oversight or a conscious decision to use imagery familiar from ''Origins'' as a conceit of the visual medium, but it is not completely impossible to reconcile it with ''Contact Harvest''. Maybe the Covenant excavated the teardrop casing from that sarcophagus at some point between the taming of the Lekgolo and the dawn of the 9th Age of Reclamation?

| :As for getting rid of the "05-032", I'd be perfectly fine with that for the reasons presented (as well as consistency with the titling of [[Offensive Bias]]), though it should be noted that it's not forbidden nor in any way harmful to simply link the redirect [[Mendicant Bias]] wherever it's unnecessary to use the full designation (which is, admittedly, most of the time). --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 07:27, 27 March 2015 (EDT)
