Template talk:Third-party inline

Requested move 27 May 2015

The result of the proposal was moved. There's consensus to move, but this is a silly premise. Many templates use hyphens instead of spaces; I believe all stub templates do. --BDD (talk) 15:13, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Template:Third-party-inline → Template:Third-party inline – Incorrect use of hyphenation in English. There are some other templates of this sort doing this, but most are now at titles without the hyphen before "inline", e.g. {{Self-published inline}}, which illustrates actually correct use of hyphenation, the same kind needed here in the compound adjective "third-party". --Relisted.

• Oppose there used to be a convention to hyphenate between every word in a cleanup template name. I see no problem in the location of this template, given that a redirect already exists -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 03:42, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
  • It's a convention that we don't use any longer. Misuse of hyphenation like this is counterintuitive. Consistent page names are desirable for any number of reasons, from tool automation, to being able to edit /doc pages in series without having to repeatedly guess at alternative spellings with different hyphenation. Not seeing a problem with one name isn't, alone, a valid rationale to oppose moving it to another.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  04:59, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
