Crown Office → Crown Office in Chancery – This name can refer to either the Crown Office in Chancery (central UK Government) or the Crown Office & Procurator Fiscal Service (devolved Scottish Government). Currently Crown Office refers to the London institution with Crown Office in Chancery being a redirect to it. I would prefer that these be swapped around so that Crown Office in Chancery becomes the name of the article and Crown Office becomes a disambiguation page. Robin S.

- Why would you prefer that? You're suggesting a less concise title without changing the topic associated with either form. — BarrelProof (talk) 00:07, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- I think the proposal is clear, the OP thinks there's no primary topic between the UK government and Scottish government Crown Offices. I'm not sure that's uncontroversial though, so moving to contested. A full RM would be preferable. @Robin S. Taylor: please start one if you wish to proceed. — Amakuru (talk) 11:05, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I had focused on "swapped around" and thought it was just a request for a title swap, missing the part about Crown Office becoming a disambiguation page. I have no comment on the merits of this suggestion. — BarrelProof (talk) 20:26, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
