– the head article for this Balkan country has been moved from "Republic of Macedonia" to North Macedonia per an RM discussion closed on 13 Feb 2019). The closer @MSGJ noted an overwhelming consensus that now is the right time to move this article. The categories have just been renamed per near-unanimous support at WP:CFD 2019 February 16#North_Macedonia, and the stub categories are at Category:North Macedonia stubs and its subcats.
The hastily-closed discussion above at #Requested_move_13_February_2019 adopted a non-standard naming format which AFAICS is not the convention for stub templates. (@StraussInTheHouse (SITH), please can you leave this discussion time reach a consensus?)
This group proposal standardises on the camel-cased, unspaced format used by e.g. {{SouthAfrica-stub}}, {{SouthSudan-stub}}, {{NorthDakota-stub}}, {{SouthDakota-stub}}, {{NorthKorea-stub}}, {{SouthKorea-stub}}, {{IvoryCoast-stub}}, {{SierraLeone-stub}}, {{IvoryCoast-stub}}. I have tried to include all the relevant stub templates, based on this Petscan search. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:30, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

• Oppose camelcase. We don't need to follow this awful convention — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:35, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
  • @MSGJ, on the contrary, WP:CONSISTENCY applies. If you would like to change the convention, please open an RFC. I am sure you can make an eloquent case for changing it, but unless and until the convention is changed the use of a non-std format for this country will be disruptive for editors and will lead to errors. Stub templates are customarily not accompanied by redirects, because consistent use of the canonical version facilitates stub-sorting using tools such as AWB. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:44, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

PS The naming conventions are at WP:WikiProject Stub sorting/Naming_conventions#Stub_templates, whose talk page would be a good location for an RFC if you want to open one. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:51, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

BrownHairedGirl, sure, no problem, FWIW the unanimous support at other countless RMs was the reason for speedy close. SITH (talk) 20:36, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

I get that, @StraussInTheHouse (SITH), ... but you overlooked that the other discussions did not concern stub templates, which use a different format to article titles. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:38, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

BrownHairedGirl, oops, this is probably why :P Thanks for letting me know. SITH (talk) 20:44, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

• Support all per the recent page and category moves. Lugnuts 08:20, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose camelcase. I also agree with MSGJ that this is an awful convention that should be eradicated. Seeing as how the naming convention page is not a guideline, but just a project page, it doesn't mean a lot. However, what is a guideline, is WP:TPN, which says that template names are easiest to remember if they follow standard English spelling, spacing, and capitalization. --Gonnym (talk) 08:39, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Sounds like some people are getting the hump about this so-called camelcase. Lugnuts 08:41, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Lugnuts, you should really have signed that LugNuts :P SITH (talk) 10:09, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

@Gonnym: the convention is established by the fact that all but about a dozen of the 29,000 stub templates in Category:Stub message templates use the camelcase format.

That is a very strong WP:IMPLICITCONSENSUS. Per Arbcom's ruling on Levels of consensus: "where there is a global consensus to edit in a certain way, it should be respected and cannot be overruled by a local consensus". (See WP:LOCALCON).

If you and MSGJ want to challenge that global consensus, you need to open an RFC. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:12, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

This does not seem to be a "global consensus" but a local project consensus which disregards a guideline that says to use a very different style. My position hasn't changed. --Gonnym (talk) 16:21, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

This is a global consensus. It applies to all stub templates, whatever the geography or topic, and has done so for over a decade.

It's a great pity that you and MSGJ have chosen this housekeeping RM as your chosen venue to challenge that consensus, rather than taking the proper consensus building path, i.e. RFC.

If you succeed in blocking this renaming, the result will be to leave all these templates named after a title which is now deprecated, in a topic area which has been so highly divisive that Arbcom maintains a live interest in it. I hope that closer weighs the levels of consensus accordingly. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:20, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

• Comment: Ok, this RM really does need to wait till the RfC is closed BrownHairedGirl. The Adjective and Nationality questions here and here need to be resolved before we can realistically address a significant proportion of these stubs. Do we go ahead with "North Macedonian" or "Macedonian"? It seems logical that the stub's own title will follow the contents within (and the term within). I see stubs that are using one term or the other within the body of the stub template at the moment for similar topics, this won't be tolerated after the RfC is closed. Once the RfC is wrapped up on 17 March we will be able to address these stubs with more certainty. However, that being said, the Template:Macedonian-American-stub is one entry that absolutely needs to be removed from this list, as it is specifically referring to the ethnicity of the people from North Macedonia. Ethnicity is not really in question with regards to the country's new name. There is currently only one acceptable term for the ethnicity, "Macedonian" (ethnicity is actually also a point of debate here in the RfC, but it is a significantly one-sided discussion and not likely to shift away from the status-quo of "Macedonian"). This whole discussion needs to be paused until the next 11 days have passed. It really shouldn't be too much to ask for this at this stage. - Wiz9999 (talk) 21:08, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
