Article title[edit]

@Dormskirk: this article was re-titled from "18 (UKSF) Signal Regiment" to "18th Signal Regiment (United Kingdom)" by Coldstreamer20 on 10 November 2021. The correct sourced designation is "18 (UKSF) Signal Regiment". Coldstreamer20 replied when I asked why it had been re-titled User Talk:Coldstreamer20#Moved 18 (UKSF) Signal Regiment, 651 Squadron AAC and 1 ISR Wing edits that moving was discussed at Talk:3rd Signal Regiment (United Kingdom)#3rd Signal Regiment (United Kingdom)#Name change. The new title is not the correct designation and needs to be changed. Either a revert over now what is a re-direct to "18 (UKSF) Signal Regiment". Given 18 (UKSF) Sig Regt's unique designation incorporating (UKSF) I'm not sure it needs WP:DISAMBIG with (United Kingdom). However, happy to go with disambiguation with a title such as "18th (UKSF) Signal Regiment (United Kingdom)" if that is the preference of other editors.--Melbguy05 (talk) 10:00, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I see your point. We do try to achieve consistent disambiguation by way of suffixes. That said I can see the case for natural disambiguation here. I suggest you seek a consensus using the proposed move process at WP:RMCM. Dormskirk (talk) 10:40, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Melbguy05 if you're so adamant about changing the name, I would recommend it becomes 18th (UKSF) Signal Regiment than. I don't think there is a need to spell out 'United Kingdom Special Forces' for the designation here. Cheers, Coldstreamer20, feel free to chat here or see my made pages! 14:01, 11 January 2022 (UTC):[reply]

@Dormskirk: Coldstreamer20 has recommended that it be reverted. Do you still suggest that I create a controversial move discussion?--Melbguy05 (talk) 15:51, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming no other objections, I am fine for you to revert it. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 15:55, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

+1 Support that decision, in-case I didn't make that clear, sorry for the confusion. Cheers, Coldstreamer20, feel free to chat here or see my made pages! 17:57, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
