[edit]

@Michael Snow, Gamaliel, Go Phightins!, and The ed17: while watching the development of the [The Signpost (Wikipedia)]-article it was interesting to me seeing that it seemed not so sure what the proper name is: "The Signpost" or "The Wikipedia Signpost" or "Wikipedia Signpost" or ...? And when or if it had been changed since 2005? As it usually is regarded that the Lemma title is the name of a subject and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost is really long and contains three times "Wikipedia" in it, perhaps it could make sense in long term to change it? Perhaps to ".../Wikipedia:Signpost" or ".../Wikipedia:The Signpost". (I know that such a move or change would be a lot of work & I know there are already many shorter redirects; http://enwp.org/WP:TWS being the shortest that I found yet. Therefore I posted this only here to not draw too much attention to it, because I regard it a decision only for the main Signpost heads, I hope I didn't forget to ping anyone? Please feel free to move or remove this at your own choice. :) Thank you for all your great work!! --.js[[M:D]] 02:55, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi .js, you can see when the name was changed at the about page. :-) Moving the pages is something we've mulled for years, but never had a publication bot that could accommodate it. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:31, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
