Hi, I'm renaming some wiki pages to remove the "Wikiproject" prefix from the country pages, following the page naming conventions [1]. I renamed the pages related to Spain months ago. Then I continued through America. The pages of all Spanish-speaking countries are already renamed [2] and I have

I don't think this counts as “tagging for the renderer”, which is more about adding false data to “make the map look like what you want” (e.g. “I want a blue line here, like the `route=ferry` line, so I'll use that”). I think it could be very helpful for place names which aren't pronounced the
