Talk:Maternal–fetal medicine

My plans for this page
I’m hoping to expand this article in the coming days (April 5th through the 8th) by:
 * 1) adding a lead section, picture, and info box
 * 2) 2.	including a history of the development of this specialty
 * 3) 3.	refining spectrum of care
 * 4) 4.	adding relevant international organizations and common journals

In addition, I plan to increase the links to other wiki articles, and provide more external links/further reading.

I had initially planned to change the name to “perinatology”, but google ngram viewer seems to show that the term “maternal-fetal medicine” has overtaken “perinatology” in recent literature. Any feedback is more than welcome! Fairlycromulent (talk) 19:00, 1 April 2016 (UTC)fairlycromulent

The result of the move request was: Moved per WP:MOS. En dash is harder for readers to type is not an issue as there will be a redirect anyway. (non admin closure)  InsertCleverPhraseHere  06:50, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Maternal-fetal medicine → Maternal–fetal medicine – En dash, not hyphen 123.243.76.165 (talk) 05:26, 12 April 2016 (UTC) 123.243.76.165 (talk) 05:26, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose en dash is harder for readers to type making it harder to directly access this article. --Tom (LT) (talk) 21:31, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Support - from MOS:HYPHEN and MOS:DASH, I think the two terms maternal and fetal are independent of each other, and should be separated by an en-dash, not by a hyphen. Per In some cases, like diode–transistor logic, the independent status of the linked elements requires an en dash instead of a hyphen. 's oppose argument is not very persuasive, as ease or otherwise of typing the name is not a factor in choosing WP:ARTICLETITLE. The current name would in any case remain as a redirect. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 09:15, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
