:"Rebels" is more fitting than "separatists", but we also know that these groups had more than Sangheili in them; otherwise there would be no point in having them as a page separate from the [[Sangheili]] one. If I had to call the page something, the best I can come up with is "Great Schism rebels" or "Great Schism insurgents", which both limits the usage to the Great Schism (as the Covenant saw numerous rebel, insurgent and separatist movements over the course of its history) and removes the implication that they were Sangheili-exclusive. Still, I would dispute the need to have an umbrella page for factions within such a narrow timeframe, considering that, for all we know many of the Covenant remnants post-war could well have had their origins in the Schism era. --[[User:Tacitus|Tacitus]] ([[User talk:Tacitus|talk]]) 14:56, March 27, 2019 (EDT)

::I'd argue that rebels isn't much better, as it implies the Sangheili are travelling against something when they were effectively being stripped of citizenship of the Covenant. I think it would be better to keep the contents of this page on articles like the Great Schism, Sangheili, Covenant, and Fleet of Retribution/Xytan's Covenant. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 15:28, March 27, 2019 (EDT)
