Talk:Port Vila

Why are we using the French name of this city?

Per our policy on naming conventions, we use the most common name in English. However, as far as I'm aware, Port Villa was the English name while the name with the dash, Port-Villa was the French name. Wikipedia also uses w:Port Villa, without the dash too, so any objections before I move the name to Port Vila? --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 12:46, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Only that you're sometimes doubling the "L". :-) Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:59, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Oops. I should probably stop editing late at night ;-). SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 21:30, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Nah. We all make typos. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:55, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

I'd agree if it was once, but three times? SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 02:19, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Any last minute objections before I move this to Port Vila? SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 07:32, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Better late than never: I've gone ahead and moved this. Jpatokal (talk) 00:19, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
