Template talk:Opera topics

Move to {{Opera}}

User:CsDix proposed the speedy rename of this template to {{Opera}} which redirects to {{WikiProject Opera}}. I oppose that request because the name {{Opera}} has been used for a very long time and we must assume that editors will continue to use it to tag new articles. This template, Navbox opera topics, has exactly one use, so it's difficult see any benefit at all from the proposed move. The rationale given by CsDix, "Navbox" (and "topics") don't appear to be standard.", doesn't seem valid to me – I see plenty of template starting with the word "Navbox" or with the word "topics" in their name, although none with both. If the name "Navbox opera topics" must be changed, "Opera topics" seems a much less disruptive choice. This ought to have been raised at the Opera Project's talk page before taking any action. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:00, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Strongly opposed to this re-name. It will break thousands of links to a long-standing redirect/shortcut to the project banner. Furthermore it is a flawed name for the use of this template topic. Voceditenore (talk) 09:23, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Oppose per above comments.--Smerus (talk) 11:26, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
