This article refers to an organisation in the UK that can only be distinguished from a *real* scam by the presence ot the word "The" in its title. That is, TAAS is legitimate (if a bit controversial) but AAS is a scam. Is there a way to force the "The" into the name of the page?

Good morning,
Apologies if this is not the correct place to discuss this but I wanted to reach out to you regarding updating the pages for The Air Ambulance Service (TAAS) and it's brands. If it is not please let me know and I will happily talk to you there.
I have previously volunteered for the organisation and when googling them spotted their wiki pages were incomplete and outdated so I've tried to add to them. I would argue that although some of the content is similar there does need to be pages for TAAS, the Children's Air Ambulance Service and their local air ambulances. I recently noticed that they had split their website so it is no longer one site for all but that Children's has it's own site (https://www.childrensairambulance.org.uk).
I know that having it's own site doesn't mean it should have it's own wiki page but I think it would be good to keep it so as to not confuse people who are looking for more information on either Children's or their local air ambulance services. There has been a lot of bad press about this charity but I am hoping to help show some of the amazing work they do to help give a balanced view.
I hope this makes sense and would love to know how I can highlight these points in response to your thoughts.
Thanks,

Aircraft Updates
editThe first two aircraft listed have been updated to AW109SP GrandNew models and therefore have different tail numbers to those listed. G-RSCU is now G-WNAS, G-TAAS is now G-DRLA. G-DRLA now flies from Nottingham Heliport and not East Midlands Airport. Clemo41 (talk) 19:26, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
