Was there an episode after "The Muse" that says whether Odo and Troi annulled their sham marriage? ShutterBugTrekker 23:58, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
We need a new picture that shows Odo as he usually appears, and maybe one that shows him in his gelatinous state. I'm not good at all that copyright stuff, so could someone get a more appropriate picture for the article? Citizen Premier 03:52, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
I added the "Casablanca" reference; the page needs all the help it can get. --trekphiler, 23/11/05
Even though Odo was one of the shapeshifters that was sent to explore the universe, was he still Considered a "founder" of the Dominion. In the DS9 episode "A Time to Stand", Wayoun treats him very much as he would a "real" leader of the Dominion, accepting his orders without question.

I have reverted a change of his rank from Constable to Lieutenant. I have never seen Odo referred to as anything other than constable or by his positional rank of Chief of Security (see: http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Odo). The Star Trek wiki does not list him as anything other than constable and no evidence was given by the guest to support the change. aldibibable ( talk) 20:29, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
I have reverted this rank change again. Unregistered user, please cite your source for Odo's rank being lieutenant and/or join in this discussion rather than just editting constantly. aldibibable ( talk) 23:15, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Since there were several real live people who bore the name Odo, it seems a bit strange to let a fictional character have the article with the title "Odo". I don't see there's a clear case which meaning of Odo is the most common one, and then it is better to move this article to "Odo (Star Trek)" or similar to let the disambig page have this spot. // habj 17:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
"Odo ... never had the skill to duplicate humanoid features with precision, making his humanoid appearance an approximation."
I remember having seen at least one episode where Odo was able to mimic different human(oid) persons quite perfectly. How is this explained?
The result of the proposal was move. This was a difficult one to close.
I'm not inclined to relist, as I feel all pertinent points have likely been made by now.
I have consulted with other admins and the consensus was that the arguments in favour of moving the dab page to the primary topic override the technical consideration that this is the only article named "Odo". I appreciate this will not be universally popular but some decisions are not easy and this one has been taken after deep consideration and consultation with other admins. -- kingboyk ( talk) 15:24, 2 January 2008 (UTC) Amended/updated -- kingboyk ( talk) 16:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
I come on Wikipedia looking for information about the 10th century Archibishop of Canterbury and get some Star Trek nonsense. I certainly don't object to fictional characters having articles, but prioritising this drivel over the articles on dozens of historical figures named Odo makes Wikipedia look ridiculous. I suppose this article is mainly attended by fans of Star Trek, but if any of Wikipedia's writers with a sense of perspective stop by this page, I hope they'll see sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.67.251.70 ( talk) 21:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
If the article is moved, it should be to Odo (Star Trek); although I'm not sure a move is really necessary. — Disavian ( talk/ contribs) 22:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
As much as I love DS9, I have to agree that Odo should likely be a disambig and this should be at Odo (Star Trek) or somesuch. Narson ( talk) 02:33, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Almost the entire fictional character biography of Odo was removed by User:Arithefrog as their only contribution ever a year and a half ago. While I approve of the concept of separating fact from fiction, the user seems to have gone too far. The article now has pretty much no in-universe biography left. Should the biography be added back?

The gender neutral use of "they" and "their" seems unnecessary as "The original Writer's Bible from 1992 for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine described Odo as follows: Odo, an alien male,...". A quote from within this very article. The use of these pronouns is confusing here. I don't recall Odo ever identifying as LGBQT, but I could be wrong. Anyone remember any such reference other than what the original writer's intended. Anyone without a political agenda have an opinion on this? Of course the article also states something about the Changlings being agendered species. Not much is found on Wiki about this though.
