Mountain railways of India → Mountain railways in India – Should use "in" not "of". Please see the category name, Category:Mountain railways in India. 168.233.220.6 (talk) 16:28, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:00, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- @168.233.220.6: Both forms of the name make sense. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:00, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- As the article stands now, perhaps, although IMS more sources used "of" even before the UN designation. Once the pre-partition railroads are added, it will make far less sense. Anmccaff (talk) 22:21, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
Support per WP:CONSISTENCY with Category:Railway lines by country – every single subcat is named with "in". We even have a naming convention somewhere concerning usage of of/in, but I'm lazy to search for it. No such user (talk) 10:33, 12 September 2017 (UTC)- Striking, with a note to myself: never vote before reading the article first. :). No such user (talk) 13:46, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Leave as Mountain railways of India. No reason to change it, other than a false consistency that's likely to make things more confusing, not less. Also Anmccaff's point, that some of these were "of" India but are no longer "in" India. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:44, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Name used by UNESCO.--Redtigerxyz Talk 17:49, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
- ...and? This is about the railroads, which existed well before UNESCO was a bad dream. This strikes me as an argument in favor of change, to avoid that particular confusion. Anmccaff (talk) 17:56, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
