Talk:2021–present United Kingdom cost-of-living crisis

Year needed
I feel the year may be needed in the article title. I’m sure other periods of financial difficulties in the UK (for example in the 1970s) would have been characterised as a “cost of living crisis”.

Would be interested to hear the thoughts of other editors. JLo-Watson (talk) 13:22, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It's probably safe to say that over 99.999% of talk right now is about the current crises, so it seems safe to assume most readers searching for "UK cost of living crisis" would want this page. I agree that including the date in the year is desirable, but would have waited until the crisis abates before doing so. But no harm accepting your rename for now. Let's hope there is never a case for chaning it to 2023 or later. FeydHuxtable (talk) 14:15, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Add hyphens in title
The noun phrase "the cost of living" is written without hyphens, but when it is used attributively (as in "the cost-of-living crisis") it is written with hyphens (see Wikipedia Manual of Style / Punctuation / Hyphens). I propose adding hyphens to the title of this page. Timothy Cooper (talk) 07:20, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Why "British"?
The "British" cost-of-living crisis isn't very British, but a worldwide phenomenon: 2021–2023 inflation surge. Shouldn't this at least be mentioned? The article is written in a way it claims it's almost a British-only phenomenon, while the UK doesn't even stand out in the rise of cost of living compared to the rest of the world.
