For Harding's article: Dead links is a regular part of niche internet interests, unfortunately. I would use the Wayback Machine archive. Additionally, it might be worth adding that piece as being invented "in the 1960s by George Botterill", and changing "Harding's Transcendental Prelate" to "Botterill's" in the anchorite paragraph.
For naming on this page, I disagree in part with H.G.: if we come to some consensus here, then it will probably trickle into variants. People are welcome to name pieces however they want in variants, absolutely, but anyone finding this page before re-inventing the piece will be at least slightly inclined to use this name. If we can't come to anything close to consensus, then I'd suggest the article title to actually be something like "Wazir-then-bishop", and anything for the text.
Personally, I think avoiding Aanca is best (but of course with an index entry for Aanca pointing to this page, and I would suggest mentioning earlier in the article the Aanca name). I'd be pretty happy with either Anchorite or Acromantula. (I get the preference for non-modern myth, but don't think it's more important than other considerations.) I also like Manticore.
