National injunction → Nationwide injunction – "Nationwide injunction" is the WP:COMMONNAME. This includes use in books per Google Ngrams and in scholarly articles per Google Scholar (1460 for "nationwide injunction", 471 for "national injunction", 441 for "universal injunction"). (If limited to articles since 2019, the corresponding numbers are 621, 257, and 139.) Some scholars or judges prefer to avoid "nationwide" as imprecise (see National injunction) since these injunctions can extend to actions abroad (hence "universal injunction") or be limited to a judicial circuit, state, etc. SilverLocust 💬 11:48, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Support. Whatever one thinks they should be called, clearly they are called nationwide injunctions per the data above (and a quick ProQuest search suggests the gap is even more pronounced in press coverage). And since there's no real ambiguity about what the phrase "nationwide injunction" refers to, this isn't a case where we have to avoid the common name for WP:PRECISION reasons.
