Hi,<br>
<br>
I am Daniel, from Spain. I would like to change the name of the wiki <br>
pages related to the Canada mapping project to remove the "Wikiproject" <br>
prefix following the pages name conventions [1].<br>
<br>
The name of the pages related to the Canada mapping project would be <br>
"Canada" (name of place) instead of "Wikiproject Canada", as recommended <br>
by the wiki conventions. It is a change that I have already made in <br>
United States [2], Spain [3], and all Spanish speaking countries in the <br>
OSM Wiki [4], consulting with their communities beforehand. Hard work <br>
but good results.<br>
<br>
I could make the necessary changes, no problem, and also add the <br>
"Country" template [5] to the Canada project page, although this change <br>
is optional.<br>
<br>
Some questions from your OSMCanada Slack group:<br>
<br>
1.- What affect does it have on the wiki to be frank?<br>
<br>
Really, not much. Instead of "WikiProject Canada" the pages change to <br>
"Canada" (place name) to make direct reference to the country object of <br>
the mapping project, following the wiki conventions. The rest will <br>
remain the same (no changes).<br>
<br>
2.- Will there be a redirect to Canada page?<br>
<br>
Of course. You can search for "Canada" directly in the wiki. And if <br>
someone shares a link to "WikiProject Canada", it will link directly to <br>
the Canada mapping project ("Canada" page in the wiki).<br>
<br>
3.- Is it going to break old links to it?<br>
<br>
No, not at all. The redirects will be automatic.<br>
<br>
<br>
I have posted a message on the wiki about this subject [6]. Please, <br>
comment there if you want to send me your opinions.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you for your attention. Greetings from Spain!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Daniel<br>
