Talk:Musashino Plateau

Article name: Musashino Plateau
WP's Japanese and French, the article is about the Musashino plateau, not about a part of that plateau, such as is the Mushashino terrace.

On Wikidata it is titled: Musashino Terrace (Q2616063). But really the interwiki should be to Musashino Plateau.

May 18, 2013 - WP English, a user had to detect that it is not the right thing to do, and it changed from terrace to plateau in the head of the article.
