Requested move 25 June 2016

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No consensus to move the article has been established within the RM time period and thus defaulting to not moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) — Music1201 ^talk 17:36, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Chief of the Army Staff India → Template:Chief of the Army Staff (India) – As per WP:MILMOS and WP:PRECISION, while specifying a particular name of a place in the article's name to avoid confusion/disambiguation, it must be put in the brackets but must not be directly suffixed as it is now.

Moving templates is a largely pointless practice that benefits no one because they are editor-facing and thus do not need to be titled according to things like our MoS. Jenks24 (talk) 09:49, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jenks24: Wikipedia:Template namespace#Template names may be a reason to move. Though I'd add that if this template had many thousand transclusions, a template move might be unnecessary server strain. But then again, TPROT level templates have been moved to more English-conformant and readable names over the years, including those with close to millions of transclusions. (This one has only 29). I say, move, but don't feel strongly either way. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 00:04, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I understand that other people feel differently to me about this issue, it's only my personal opinion and that's why I didn't oppose. I think in cases like this, where the template is readily identifiable at either title, starting a RM is a waste of admin/page mover time and I will continue to discourage the practice.

Neutral – @Krishna Chaitanya Velaga: Like Jenks24 I don't see the benefit of making minor changes to template titles. However the target name is free so you can move the template yourself if you wish. — JFG ^talk 09:31, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
