Railways
editAre you sure that railways is still reserved? My understanding was that Labour were making a big song and dance last year about railways being the first area of reserved power to be devolved since the Scotland Act. Eg, see the Transport Scotland article. --Mais oui! 10:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Reserved and excepted matters → Reserved and excepted matters of the Parliament of the United Kingdom – the current title is not very specific and changing it would make it much clearer that it’s about the Reserved and excepted matters of the UK Parliament 2A02:C7F:5621:2A00:B1F1:B312:1655:D2A3 (talk) 17:32, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
- This is a contested technical request (permalink). — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 18:58, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
- Support - The proposed title is what is needed for this article and does make things clearer in knowing it’s regarding devolved arrangements within the United Kingdom. (MOTORAL1987 (talk) 07:50, 23 August 2018 (UTC))
- Support- I also support this idea and agree the title of this article needs to be clearer. (2A02:C7F:5621:2A00:58BC:722A:20D:F7D8 (talk) 21:28, 24 August 2018 (UTC))
- Oppose - Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The Lead and hatnotes are perfectly capable of clearing up any possible confusion with similar articles. - BilCat (talk) 22:47, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:PRECISION. While I generally advocate a little bit of "preemptive disambiguation" where the geographic context is unclear, I don't think it's called for in this case. "Reserved matters" and "excepted matters" are not very common phrases, thus it's obvious it's some kind of legal jargon. As BilCat said, lead and hatnotes are perfectly capable of clearing any possible confusion. No such user (talk) 11:28, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
