rename; if a user wants to propose a new format for an entire tree, the user needs to do so with a formal nomination. In most cases, it is awkward to make such a proposal through opposing changes that so clearly comply with the speedy rename criteria. In theory, the approach could work in raising the issue to broader awareness, but in practice, it usually just slows down what should be a routine change. It would be much better for the user to announce the proposal via a formal nomination |

rename to Option 1. There is clearly a consensus to rename from the current names to one of the options proposed. There is no consensus on which of the two options to use—it appears that there is a 50/50 split on those who expressed a preference. Therefore, to resolve the impasse, I am simply defaulting to the current format, which is to use "MPs", since there was no consensus to change it. This discussion should not be cited as precedent for a consensus to accept the use "MPs" in category names, and the issue can be again raised for discussion in the future. In other words, there was no consensus in this discussion on the issue of whether to use "MPs" or "Members of Parliament". |
