Question about how Wikipedia works=[edit]

If there's a Wikipedia article about Jackie Trent isn't it automatic that Jackie Trent should appear in the list of people here with the surname Trent? (I don't mean that she'd automatically QUALIFY to be listed. I mean that your computers would, without any human intervention, re-generate the "Trent" article so as to list her, based on the fact that your computers can find that a person has the last name "Trent", the first name "Jackie", and an article about her.) Something in your scheme of programming is not working. Here's the materiality: I misremembered her name as "Judy Trent" and thus failed to find the article on her. Instead of the 10 seconds it would've taken me to find her name in this Wikipedia "Trent" list, I had to spend a gosh-awful amount of time tracking down my error using sources outside Wikipedia.69.86.65.186 (talk) 10:42, 21 January 2014 (UTC)Christopher L.

Videogame usage missing from "Other uses" category[edit]

A number of fantasy video games (usually RPGs) feature monsters called "trents" where the name appears to be a mixture of tree and ent. They are usually depicted as living trees that are more tree-like than the ents from Tolkien's fiction.

Edit: These creatures are often called treants but some games may spell them as "trent" or players may mistakenly drop the "a" when searching for them on Wikipedia. Since "treant" is pronounced & spelled virtually the same as "trent", it is still worth including a link to "treant" on this page.
