Change of name

[edit]

{{flag}} This province was renamed in 2010. I think we should rename the category to match the new name, especially in light of two new articles using the new name and the merger that has been authorised between this province and the neighbouring Federally Administered Tribal Areas. I realise this will involve fixing sixty articles but I think it's better to start using the current name rather than continuing with an outdated name.

Indeed. Fixing this has been on our wish-list (as in, "I wish I had time to do that") for a long time. I was actually thinking of maybe tackling it today, and only when I came sniffing around here found you'd added this note. (I wasn't only thinking of it because of the recent FATA merge, as it happens; I'd also coincidentally encountered a reference in an alternative-history fiction novel that answered something I'd vaguely wondered about for years: why would a province in east-of-central north Pakistan be called "north-west frontier province"? Because, of course, when it got that name it wasn't in Pakistan, it was under the British Raj. Doh.) --Pi zero (talk) 15:15, 31 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
