Re: [Talk-GB] Removing "WikiProject" prefix

[dcapillae]

Hi, Jez.

Thank you for commenting.

I don't know if there's a convention about this. It seems that every 
community uses one scheme or another according to their own preferences. 
Some countries use "United Kingdom Railways" and others "United 
Kingdom/Railways". I don't have preferences for one or the other.


In the pages of the US mapping project I used the scheme "United 
States/Railways", "United States/Boundaries", etc. They use two schemes, 
both with "/" and without "/". For example, there are pages like "United 
States/Projects" and others like "United States roads tagging" or 
"United States admin level". All the pages of the United States mapping 
project are in the category "Category:United States", so they are easy 
to find even if they have different names.


I would only remove the prefix "WikiProject" from the pages related to 
the UK mapping project. I usually use subpages to keep all the pages 
related to the mapping project in the same page tree. However, I 
understand that other solutions are also possible.


If your community have a preference, I'll do what you prefer.

Is the wiki going with "United Kingdom xyz", that is no '/' prefix and 
subject last?

Hi,

I am Daniel, from Spain. I would like to change the name of the wiki
pages related to the United Kingdom mapping project to remove the
"Wikiproject" prefix according to the pages name conventions [1].

The name of the pages related to the United Kingdom mapping project
would be "United Kingdom" (name of place) instead of "Wikiproject
United
Kingdom", as recommended by the wiki conventions. It is a change
that I
have already made in United States [2], Canada [3], Spain [4],
Australia
[5], New Zealand [6], South Africa [7], and all Spanish-speaking
countries [8] on the Wiki. The pages of Israel, Denmark and
Philippines
have also been renamed.

Many pages of the UK mapping project have already been renamed.
Only a
few remain. I could make the necessary changes. All pages with
"WikiProject" prefix will be redirected automatically. There will
be no
broken links in any case.  I'll make sure everything works correctly,
just like now.

Do you like the idea? There was already a discussion in the wiki
about
this subject [9].

Thank you for you attention! Greetings from Spain.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi, Andrew.


Thank you for commenting.

I have only renamed country pages because the pages naming coventions 
recommend not to use the prefix "WikiProject" in place pages. I haven't 
renamed other "WikiProject" because I don't know the conventions in 
other cases.


A subpage "United Kingdom/Power networks" (or "Power networks in United 
Kingdom", I have no preferences about the name) could be created and 
then move/copy the contents from those wikiproject pages to the UK 
mapping project pages, and redirect the old page to the new one if 
necessary.
