Name change

Should we change the article's name from "St. Andrew's College, Christchurch" to "St Andrew's College, Christchurch"? I assume the correct spelling of the school's name is the one on its website, here [1]. I am not sure if or how a simple name change will affect other parts of Wikipedia, or whether a re-direct will cover everything. If nobody objects I will make the change soon.

They seem consistent about the (lack of) punctuation and Stuff appears to concur. I'd say go ahead, Roger 8 Roger. Schwede 66 20:24, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

From 'move', I cannot rename the article. The change is being blocked and I not sure why -- it has not already been renamed. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 09:19, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That happens when the article name you want to move to has a non-trivial history. That was the case because prior to 2009, that had been the article name. I've executed the move and done a history merge; all should be good. Schwede 66 00:55, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for finishing off those changes and for the explanation.
