Trefniadaeth Seilwaith Amddiffyn Man Hyfforddi Caerwent
editIn Top Gear it was named 'Trefniadaeth Seilwaith Amddiffyn Man Hyfforddi Caerwent'. Any idea were that name came from?--Wester (talk) 19:51, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
- It was included in the script as one of the show's jokes. It's most likely a verbatim translation of one of the site's official names, but unless there are citations showing that it is actually an official Welsh name for the site, it shouldn't be included in the article.

- in google translate it translates to something similar to

Caerwent Training Area
Potential rename
editWhat would your guys opinion be on renaming this page to Caerwent Barracks, since it is currently being converted into a barracks for 1Rifles/QDG? It hasn't been the Royal Navy Propellant Factory since 1966. For most of its existence, it has been the Caerwent Training Area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dolphinwaxer (talk • contribs) 08:40, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- OK with me, if noone else objects. Dormskirk (talk) 10:29, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if anybody else will reply, seems quite a dead page Dolphinwaxer (talk) 20:36, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- In the absence of objections, I have moved it. Dormskirk (talk) 16:04, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

- Terrible idea, per WP:CRYSTAL. The article is now largely inconsistent with its own title, describing most aspects, such as the railway, in the wrong tense. Also the barracks won't happen (at the earliest) for another 5 years – if then. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:13, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- Then it should be Caerwent Training Area. It definitely should not be Royal Navy Propellant Factory. Dolphinwaxer (talk) 10:53, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- I am OK with Caerwent Training Area as a title. Dormskirk (talk) 11:04, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

- I would accept a rename to Caerwent Training Area, so long as the former names are bolded in the lead and the text is made consistent throughout. Changing the article title after two days notice was very bad practice. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:13, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- Fair point re the premature move of the page. Dormskirk (talk) 14:29, 1 October 2023 (UTC) If there are no further comments, I will move the article to Caerwent Training Area in the next few days. Dormskirk (talk) 09:51, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
