:::::::''So you admit to bias here, thus weakening your oppose.''
:::::::Think of it not as bias, but opinion. Opinions are perfectly viable in an argument, so I have a right to give it. My opinion on the UK Conservative Government is that they are an overall handicap on the country, so I can place an official vote for a different party. (Well, I can't, because I'm only 15, but you get the idea.) My opinion is that official names should be used where possible, so I can use that in my vote.
:::::::''Being the official term does not make it "more informative".''
:::::::Definition of "informative" - "Providing information; especially, providing useful or interesting information." Prat Falling being the official name is a fact, and therefore information/is informative.
:::::::''When someone falls, do you say they had "prat fall" or "tripped"? About everyone is going to say the latter.''
:::::::Hence the presence of a redirect.
:::::::''Your definition of "true name" has no value here.''
:::::::Wikis are designed to provide facts and information on a specific topic. The "true name", that being Prat Fall, has value on this basis, as it is a fact. Tripping is an oft-used name, so it deserves a mention. But it should not headline the article, as Truth and Fact > Communative and Popular.
