I've seen some editors moving pages to adjust the titles to the current name of the institutions. I would prefer only doing that as a last resort. | I've seen some editors moving pages to adjust the titles to the current name of the institutions.

:I wanted to spell out my thoughts behind this: I've seen on other wikis people going through those wikis and changing the names of articles to names they felt better reflected the article subjects without discussion and without any other considerations outside their own person ones. The articles on this wiki have the same potential. Editors may be tempted to change the article titles to reflect either what they may consider the popular name of an institution may be or change the title to reflect the current name. Because of this we may see waves of editors changing article names willy nilly. So I've come up with a rule/guideline in article name changes: | :I wanted to spell out my thoughts behind this: I've seen on other wikis people going through those wikis and changing the names of articles to names they felt better reflected the article subjects without discussion and without any other considerations outside their own person ones.

<blockquote>Unless the article name is incorrect in that the institution or subject of the article had never been called that name, then article renaming should be kept to a minimum. It is recommended that alternate names be both included in the article and using the alternate name redirects to the original article instead.</blockquote> | <blockquote>Unless the article name is incorrect in that the institution or subject of the article had never been called that name, then article renaming should be kept to a minimum.

− | :What this means is that we should not see or tolerate huge amounts of renaming without sufficient explanation and if it looks like the article naming was unjustified, then the original name should be restored and the renamed redirect may be removed. Also, it is expected of the renaming editor to state why they are renaming the article, this can either be done either in the summary or on the renamed article's talk page. I'll add this somewhere at a later time.

::::::I am adding images of some UK hospitals for examples on the plan pages. Check them when you guys make pages for the hospitals so that there are not duplicate images. Also, should there be links to the building plan pages on the left side bar like on the old database?
