Mount Smart → Rarotonga / Mount Smart – It appears to be its new official name. Haminoon (talk) 04:25, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose MOS:SLASH we should avoid slashes whenever possible. WP:SUBPAGE this makes the appearance of a subpage, and messes up the associated talk pages, which will assume it is a subpage. Further, per internet wide usage, this is assumed to be a subpage in URL formulations. We can replace it with a DASH, like how other jurisdictions use an mdash. WP:OFFICIALNAMES we don't just use official names because they are official -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 11:23, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
  • Comment Rarotonga is currently in use. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 11:32, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
  • Comment A slash is allowed "where a slash occurs in a phrase widely used outside Wikipedia, and a different construction would be inaccurate, unfamiliar, or ambiguous"; and we have a precedence with Aoraki / Mount Cook. Generally in NZ the general usage rapidly follows the official name (as we saw with Aoraki / Mount Cook). Haminoon (talk) 21:28, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Infobox naming

I've restored the infobox to it's previous state; generally, we lead the infobox with the same name as the article, and use "other_name" for the second most prominent name. BilledMammal (talk) 06:12, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

MOS:INFOBOXGEO states Infoboxes for geographical items (e.g. cities and countries) should generally be headed with the article title, although the formal version of a name (e.g. Republic of Montenegro at Montenegro) can be substituted. E James Bowman (talk) 06:30, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

This isn't a formal name, though; it's an official name. Formal names refer to things such as the "Republic of Montenegro", not "Warszawa" or "Rarotonga / Mount Smart". While we discuss, I've reverted the article to the status quo. BilledMammal (talk) 06:56, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Your link refers to country names. Google "formal". The Oxford Languages dictionary definition #2 is "officially sanctioned or recognised". The gazetted official name of this geographical item is the 'formal version of the name'. E James Bowman (talk) 07:16, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Replied at Talk:Pigeon Mountain (New Zealand)#Infobox naming. BilledMammal (talk) 09:53, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

I shared about this discussion at Wikipedia:New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board#Infobox naming. As the identical discussion is happening across three Tūpuna Maunga talk pages, it had been suggested the discussion is taken there. I agree. E James Bowman (talk) 22:56, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
