Template:Wakefield, West Yorkshire → Template:Wakefield – Per Wakefield, WY is primary topic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:29, 8 April 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. (t · c) buidhe 07:48, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:44, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is this necessary, Crouch, Swale? With primary topics, we tolerate the introduction of some ambiguity because this will facilitate searches for a major portion of readers. But this consideration is absent outside of the reader-facing parts of the encyclopedia. {{Wakefield, West Yorkshire}} has the advantage of being precise and unambiguous, and I'm struggling to see what benefit there would be in making its title shorter. This is a navbox, so there's no need to try saving editors typing time. – Uanfala (talk) 16:40, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well it makes it easier for those wanting to add a template to articles since users are likely to assume it matches the main article. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:47, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'd tend to agree with Uanfala. Fiddling around with Template titles, and other things that readers don't see is often an unnecessary waste if time, for no real benefit. — Amakuru (talk) 16:50, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll also add that Wakefield, West Yorkshire may not keep its primary topic forever, given the traffic that Wakefield (TV series) has been getting. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 17:24, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Uanfala. Soroka is not forgotten, NotReallySoroka (talk) (formerly DePlume) 16:43, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
