Talk:Worf, father of Mogh

Anonymous user 154.5.39.80 changed the name of the Col.'s house from "House of Mogh" to "House of Worf", giving the reason "(Unless Colonel Worf's father was Mogh, too)". I changed it back (pending further discussion) for two reasons: 1) on a purely practical level, "House of Worf" would simply be a redirect to "House of Mogh" since they'd be the same entity, and until we have something for "House of Mogh", a redirect is kind of pointless; and 2) we have zero hard information on the name of the House before Mogh, but we do know a few things:
 * Worf (TNG) never changed the name: throughout TNG and DS9 it remained "House of Mogh";
 * Some Houses keep a single name, not switching with each head (see "House of Duras");
 * Names get recycled in Klingon families (e.g., "Duras" and "Toral" within the Duras family, obvioiusly "Worf" within Worf's family);

So it's entirely possible that the House of Mogh is named for Col. Worf's father or (even more likely) for some previous ancestor named Mogh.

This is something that should be included on the House of Mogh page in particular and the Klingon Houses page in general (the latter should also include Final Reflection-style Lines, which served the same function until Houses became canon). Opening the floor to counterarguments and other thoughts.--Emperorkalan 12:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
