is it possible to rename this page? i can't think of a single instance that the U-87 has been referred to as Cylon Prototype. i know that the name is for use within the wiki, but it seems kind of weird not having the page title be something from the show's canon. i know they've called it a lot of things throughout the season, but the most common one has simply been U-87. what do we all think?

i am going to create a page for the three cylon models introduced in "Apotheosis" - the construction worker models as well as the cylon butler. however, i'm unsure what to call them. they are distinctly NOT U-87s and clearly not centurions. was thinking either "Caprica Cylons" or "Civilian Cylons". what do you guys think?

"Apotheosis" Cylon models
i am going to create a page for the three cylon models introduced in "Apotheosis" - the construction worker models as well as the cylon butler. however, i'm unsure what to call them. they are distinctly NOT U-87s and clearly not centurions. was thinking either "Caprica Cylons" or "Civilian Cylons". what do you guys think?
