Template:WikiProject Basic Income → Template:WikiProject Universal Basic Income – The page basic income was re-named to universal basic income after a consensus on the relevant talk page. The category:basic income has also been re-named to universal basic income. For the sake of consistency I think the WikiProject should also be re-named in line with both of these other re-names.

• Oppose as nominated. The template name should match the name of the WikiProject, which is currently WP:WikiProject Basic Income. I would support a nomination to rename the project and its associated template, but I oppose moving the template alone.

I can see that the nominator means well, but they are not doing so well with process. They started with undiscussed moves, which caused lots of problems because the assessment categories could not be speedily renamed due to the lack of a discussion (see WP:C2D). Now they are putting the cart before the horse by proposing to move the banner template without renaming the project.

Please, Helper201 ... either leave this alone (it's an inactive project, so its name doesn't matter much), or do ths properly by starting with an rm discusison on renaming WP:WikiProject Basic Income. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:14, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose at this stage. As BrownHairedGirl said, it should match the project, and the project should be changed after (after appropriate discussion). In principle I'd be happy for the template to be renamed if the project is. -Kj cheetham (talk) 08:40, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
• Comment apologies for messing this up. I have added a move request for the Wikiproject on its talk page. Helper201 (talk) 14:07, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
