Allahabad not Prayagraj now
editIt should be changed to Allahabad as per WP: COMMONNAME according to Google Ngram Allahabad is the most used term not Prayagraj. So it should be change like Turkey Which isn't change to its official name Turkiye because of WP: COMMONNAME also like Chittagong it's official name is Chattogram But it was not change because of the same reason.

- Also some editors strongly oppose Stepanakert's move to Khankendi although several sources i.e. from Google maps to BBC call the city Khankendi. What's with the double standards here?Yakamoz51 (talk) 13:05, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Etymology updates
editThis page is for Prayagraj. The etymology references to Allahabad is irrelevant here. It's quite childish to talk about some other word in etymology than the topic of the page. 2607:FEA8:4B60:C700:3607:7E78:A05A:5895 (talk) 17:43, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- But Prayagraj is merely the new name for Allahabad. Why is was called Allahabad is entirely relevant.-- Toddy1 (talk) 17:59, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Prayagraj is still known as Allahabad. As pointed out by @Toddy1, it is merely the new name for Allahabad. A few important institutions are still called Allahabad, including Allahabad High Court, IIIT-Allahabad and NIT Allahabad. Hope it helps! 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS 🍁 14:57, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
