Requested move 13 January 2022

It has been proposed in this section that multiple pages be renamed and moved. A bot will list this discussion on the requested moves current discussions subpage within an hour of this tag being placed. The discussion may be closed 7 days after being opened, if consensus has been reached (see the closing instructions). Please base arguments on article title policy, and keep discussion succinct and civil. Please use {{subst:requested move}}. Do not use {{requested move/dated}} directly.

• Module:Location map/data/New York → Module:Location map/data/New York (state)
• Module:Location map/data/Washington → Module:Location map/data/Washington (state)

– To match the naming generally used for pages about these states, due to ambiguity issues. Animal lover 666 (talk) 20:27, 13 January 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. 🐶 EpicPupper 02:51, 22 January 2022 (UTC)— Relisting. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 18:36, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

• Comment. Not sure how this eventually helps in terms of the lua modules. These two modules each consist of a single return require line that basically already act as redirects to Module:Location map/data/USA New York and Module:Location map/data/USA Washington, respectively. Perhaps it are those two that should be proposed to be moved instead of the ones proposed. And maybe the two images too that those two modules use, File:USA New York location map.svg and File:U.S. Washington location map.svg? Zzyzx11 (talk) 21:24, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
• Support at the very least for Washington since the capital is just named as "Washington" on the (American based) Google Maps so is clearly ambiguous. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:16, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Support. These should follow the standard naming conventions we use for these states. Gonnym (talk) 11:46, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Comment: These moves could cause more collateral damage than necessary. I just recalled how confusing the "Module:" namespace can be sometimes: Both of these titles are redirects. Basically, I understand what Zzyzx11 is saying: The code on these modules act as redirects towards Module:Location map/data/USA New York and Module:Location map/data/USA Washington respectively. In addition, I looked around for a bit and am unable to ascertain where the current titles are being invoked. (I had originally closed this discussion and moved the page, but then reverted myself after I discovered the technical complications with this, especially considering that redirects cannot be set up in the "Module" namespace like they are in other namespaces.) An alternative path here would be to set up the new titles as redirects using the same code in the current titles, and then nominate the current titles for WP:TFD with rationale to replace them with the new titles prior to deletion.
