Template:Wakefield, West Yorkshire → Template:Wakefield – Per Wakefield, WY is primary topic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:29, 8 April 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. (t · c) buidhe 07:48, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:44, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

• Is this necessary, Crouch, Swale? With primary topics, we tolerate the introduction of some ambiguity because this will facilitate searches for a major portion of readers. But this consideration is absent outside of the reader-facing parts of the encyclopedia. {{Wakefield, West Yorkshire}} has the advantage of being precise and unambiguous, and I'm struggling to see what benefit there would be in making its title shorter. This is a navbox, so there's no need to try saving editors typing time. – Uanfala (talk) 16:40, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

  Well it makes it easier for those wanting to add a template to articles since users are likely to assume it matches the main article. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:47, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

  I'd tend to agree with Uanfala. Fiddling around with Template titles, and other things that readers don't see is often an unnecessary waste if time, for no real benefit.  — Amakuru (talk) 16:50, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

  I'll also add that Wakefield, West Yorkshire may not keep its primary topic forever, given the traffic that Wakefield (TV series) has been getting. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 17:24, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
