I found three empty sections in this draft, can somebody add to them? 2607:FEA8:761B:C900:A0AA:BB0C:A0ED:4926 (talk) 19:34, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Branding

[edit]

@GTrang and Rushtheeditor: I noticed a double revert at 2030 Winter Olympics,[1][2] relating to the branding of the 2034 games, and I'd like to iron out whatever disagreements there may be here first before it potentially develops into an edit war. It's clear from primary sources at least that the official branding for the games is Salt Lake City–Utah 2034, with "Utah" included in the name.[1][2][3] I don't particularly see the necessity of truncating this for an infobox's succession links, especially for "context" that simply does not exist in the 2030 Winter Olympics article, or similar articles with a succession link to 2034 Winter Olympics. There needs to be a better argument for truncating it. — AFC Vixen 🦊 16:16, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AFC Vixen: Looking at Zzyzx11's contributions, I see that @Zzyzx11: said Like the 2002 games, the WP:COMMONAME for the 2034 games appears to be "Salt Lake City", not the WP:OFFICIALNAME "Salt Lake City–Utah" that was listed on IOC official documents and website.

This is what I was going to say but looking at Common Name it actually pertains to article names and not this instance. So I would tend to agree with AFC that it should be the full name. Even if we were going for common, I feel like it would be similar to the branding for 2002, Salt Lake 2002. The city often gets dropped when referring to Salt Lake. So, I would say the entire brand should be used for the infobox nav. Chris1834 Talk 16:53, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with Chris: WP:COMMONNAME and WP:OFFICIALNAME are not relevant here. — AFC Vixen 🦊 18:41, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
the IOC bid name is Salt Lake City-Utah 2034. Rushtheeditor (talk) 20:03, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • If that is the general consensus to use the official branding instead of merely [host city(ies)] [year], that should be consistent across all the Olympics infoboxes, navboxes, and all Summer and Winter articles, etc. I may not be the only one (whether an established Wikipedian, newbie, or unregistered IP) who might have that misunderstanding. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (talk) 12:53, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I believe it already mostly is, which is why I noted the reverts in the first place – that they seemed to deviate from the norm of the brand name of the games being used in these contexts. For example, the use of "Salt Lake 2002" across relevant articles instead of the [host] [year] format of "Salt Lake City 2002", or "Milano Cortina 2026" being used instead of "Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo 2026". — AFC Vixen 🦊 18:38, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
