Page name

@J-Man11: What sources have you consulted to change the page name? From what I can tell this move is incorrect. – SɱαɾƚყPαɳƚʂ22 (Ⓣⓐⓛⓚ) 13:05, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Lord & Watson, on the regiment's page state the name change. 'Wales and Western' was only unofficially used after 1999 (more of a nickname than a title). In addition, according to the regiment's page, 'Wessex and Welsh' was used here, and according to both Lord & Watson and the RCS Regimental Information document, 'Wessex and Welsh' was dropped after Options for Change, which Lord and Watson also describe because of Squadron changes.

So shouldn't the page name be the current name? I.e. 37 Signal Regiment (United Kingdom). – SɱαɾƚყPαɳƚʂ22 (Ⓣⓐⓛⓚ) 16:43, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Yes, But I got told off for 32 Signal Regiment back when, so I kinda gave up on that. Just the numbers without the designation would work better, but apparently I'm in the minority here. @Dormskirk didn't you support removing subtitles back when? J-Man11 (talk) 18:19, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Removing all the regional designations from Signal Regiments would make sense as they were dropped by MoD some time ago. But there would be a lot of moves to make and a lot of incoming links to change. Dormskirk (talk) 18:36, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Over on the military wikia, that's what I did, see here, and it worked it because it brought the regiments in-line with their regular counterparts. However, like you said it did actually take a few hours of work for me to get them all fixed and such. J-Man11 (talk) 17:11, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Fine with me if you want to go ahead. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 18:11, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

So, @SmartyPants22: and @Dormskirk: should the page be renamed to 37 Signal Regiment (United Kingdom)? It's been a very long time since this was discussed, and I was about to create a redirect, but don't want to if the name will be changed. J-Man11 (talk) 03:27, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

OK with me. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 09:43, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
