[Talk-GB] Removing "WikiProject" prefix

[Andrew Hain]

The page “WikiProject United Kingdom” had the prefix removed for a while in the past but it was changed back. I would be happy to see your project continue here.

The pages WikiProject Power networks/Great BritainWikiProject Power networks/United Kingdom<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Power_networks/United_Kingdom> are part of an international naming system.

WikiProject Solent - OpenStreetMap Wiki<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Solent>
Description. The "Solent" area of Central Southern England isn't a county as such, but is arguably worth having its own WikiProject as it is one of the better mapped areas in the UK outside of the large cities.

Subject: [Talk-GB] Removing "WikiProject" prefix

Hi,

I am Daniel, from Spain. I would like to change the name of the wiki
pages related to the United Kingdom mapping project to remove the
"Wikiproject" prefix according to the pages name conventions [1].

The name of the pages related to the United Kingdom mapping project
would be "United Kingdom" (name of place) instead of "Wikiproject United
Kingdom", as recommended by the wiki conventions. It is a change that I
have already made in United States [2], Canada [3], Spain [4], Australia
[5], New Zealand [6], South Africa [7], and all Spanish-speaking
countries [8] on the Wiki. The pages of Israel, Denmark and Philippines
have also been renamed.

Many pages of the UK mapping project have already been renamed. Only a
few remain. I could make the necessary changes. All pages with
"WikiProject" prefix will be redirected automatically. There will be no
broken links in any case.  I'll make sure everything works correctly,
just like now.

Do you like the idea? There was already a discussion in the wiki about
this subject [9].

Thank you for you attention! Greetings from Spain.

Regards,
Daniel
