Ah, ok.

Anyway, I think there's multiple points to make against leaving the current convention, all of them equally valid:

1) It's just plain easier and more intuitive to look up.

2) Many clone characters have developed a sense of individual identity, both within the story AND in popular consciousness, beyond just their genetic templates. Yeah, everyone knows that Laura and Maddie are clones of Logan and Jean, respectively, but it's not their singular defining trait.

3) It's unnecessary to use the page names for this when you can just as easily note that someone is a clone in their sidebar information and bio.

4) Save the Template_Clone_RealityNumber stuff for clones for whom no known name or alias is established, because that's going to be a case where you DO need to differentiate in the page name (to use my example for the Cyclops clone from Extraordinary X-Men: Scott Summers (Clone/Inhuman Hybrid) (Earth-616) would have to be differentiated from Scott Summers (Earth-616), but there's no alternative name to use).
