Monkeypox outbreak → Mpox outbreak – The name changed to mpox in November 2022 already. It is used for the titles of the most recent outbreaks, and Mpox outbreak currently redirects here. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 14:23, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support, with 'also known as Monkeypox outbreak' in the first sentence per reliable sources preferring 'Mpox', with the declining use of 'Monkeypox' still prevalent enough to be mentioned. Also the previous outbreaks are called 'Monkeypox'. Svampesky (talk) 15:32, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nom and Svampesky. ArkHyena (talk) 00:15, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose and delete DAB pages are not a search index and this miserably fails WP:PTM policy as it's simply an index of different outbreak pages disguised as a DAB. Alternatively, redirect to Mpox. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:05, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support for consistency with Mpox. Although this index may be merged, made into a list article or redirected to Mpox#Outbreaks. Nonetheless discussed separately. DankJae 19:20, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
