Good timing. I've been doing a lot of work recently to locate pages that the United Kingdom community are responsible for. The next step is renaming, and I/we would love to lose the words 'WikiProject'.
As to naming pages, I was stuck on 'United Kingdom/Railways" Vs "United Kingdom Railways" Vs "Railways in the United Kingdom". Is the wiki going with "United Kingdom xyz", that is no '/' prefix and subject last? - Jez On Sat, 3 Aug 2019, 13:24 Andrew Hain, <[email protected]> wrote: > The page “WikiProject United Kingdom” had the prefix removed for a while > in the past but it was changed back.
