Talk:Multi-role strike ship

Title

Hi, @Alpha3031. Can you please share your justifications behind moving the article from Multi-Role Support Ship (United Kingdom) to Multi-role support ship (United Kingdom)?

I feel it should have stayed at its original location in title case, as it is an official name for a programme. It is always in title case in official sources, e.g. here and here. TheArmchairSoldier (talk) 16:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

While a rough majority of RS capitalise in title case, there is a significant minority (FT, Hansard The News) with sentence case, and there is no preference for official sources over other reliable sources for naming conventions (WP:OFFICIALNAME). As such, I interpret the relevant policy (WP:SENTENCECASE) and guidelines (WP:HEADCAPS) as prescribing lower case, given it is not done consistently so. ​ Alpha3031 (t • c) 17:16, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Actually, going though some of the guidelines again, I see I should have also shortened the dab per WP:ACRODAB, like Labour party (UK), so will be doing that now. Alpha3031 (t • c) 06:45, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Title again

Hi, @TheArmchairSoldier. Just wondering why this page has the "(UK)" bit at the end? To me that implies that there are other nations with the exact same programme name but there aren't any unless I've missed them? So I don't quite understand specifying that it is a UK programme in the title when who elses could it be? Brandon Downes (talk) 01:28, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Brandon Downes. I kept the "UK" from the previous title (Multi-Role Support Ship (UK)), though I suppose it's no longer needed as there's no non-UK ships with that name. I'm happy to remove it from the title if everyone else is. TheArmchairSoldier (talk) 15:11, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Yeah I think it should be removed Brandon Downes (talk) 19:27, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @TheArmchairSoldier just coming back to this. I'm going to move the page per my previous reasoning. Just wanted to let you know Brandon Downes (talk) 16:33, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
