March 2022

 * Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask: nominated at RM; New name: wikipedia:Community portal/Open tasks 04:57, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Clearer title. Note: should not be moved before User:SuggestBot’s code is changed (I can do that after this is closed).
 * Wikipedia talk:Template limits: nominated at RM; New name: Help:Template limits 05:02, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Appears to be a help page. Pinging, who originally proposed this.
 * How-To Geek: nominated at AfD; notified 00:41, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: No notable Google hits or coverage found in Google News. Google Scholar didn't return any notable coverage either, the only thing I can find there is HTG being cited in a handful of obscure publications. Overall fails GNG.
 * Template:User VRT: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:User VRT-Wiki; notified 02:32, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Template:User VRT-Wiki should be merged here. They are essentially templates for the same purpose, except for the option to link to a wiki page. I would add a "wiki" parameter and redirect Template:User VRT-Wiki to here.
 * Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist: nominated at RM; New name: Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect allowlist 18:31, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Per the reasoning at Inclusive language, I believe that "whitelist" should be changed to "allowlist" to be more inclusive with language. Other documentation and related pages should be updated too (I can do this if the RM is closed successfully), and the bot code needs updating as well (I can open a pull request). Cheers!

April 2022

 * Template:More citations needed: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:BLP sources; notified 21:07, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This template should automatically detect whether it is placed on a BLP page, and change its appearance accordingly. This simplifies the tagging process, allows for easier prioritization of articles to improve for editors (e.g. BLP ones), and is a more elegant solution than a bot or regular AWB runs (see this and this BRFA).
 * Template:BLP primary sources: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:Primary sources; notified 21:14, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This template should automatically detect whether it is placed on a BLP page, and change its appearance accordingly. This simplifies the tagging process, allows for easier prioritization of articles to improve for editors (e.g. BLP ones), and is a more elegant solution than a bot or regular AWB runs (see this and this BRFA).
 * Template:BLP unsourced section: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:Unreferenced section; notified 21:25, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This template should automatically detect whether it is placed on a BLP page, and change its appearance accordingly. This simplifies the tagging process, allows for easier prioritization of articles to improve for editors (e.g. BLP ones), and is a more elegant solution than a bot or regular AWB runs (see this and this BRFA).
 * Template:BLP unsourced: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:Unreferenced; notified 21:33, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This template should automatically detect whether it is placed on a BLP page through Category:Living people, and change its appearance accordingly. This simplifies the tagging process, allows for easier prioritization of articles to improve for editors (e.g. BLP ones), and is a more elegant solution than a bot or regular AWB runs (see this and this BRFA).
 * Template:Delrev: nominated at RM; New name: Template:Deletion review 21:44, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: The new title makes it more clear what the template is for, and is consistent with other templates such as Old XfD multi.
 * Template:Olddelrev: nominated at RM; New name: Template:Old DRV 21:46, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: The new title is more clear on what the template is for, and is consistent with other templates such as Old XfD multi.
 * Template:BLP self-published: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:Self-published; notified 21:50, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This template should automatically detect whether it is placed on a BLP page through Category:Living people, and change its appearance accordingly. This simplifies the tagging process, allows for easier prioritization of articles to improve for editors (e.g. BLP ones), and is a more elegant solution than a bot or regular AWB runs (see this and this BRFA).
 * Template:BLP sources section: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:More citations needed section; notified 21:58, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This template should automatically detect whether it is placed on a BLP page through Category:Living people, and change its appearance accordingly. This simplifies the tagging process, allows for easier prioritization of articles to improve for editors (e.g. BLP ones), and is a more elegant solution than a bot or regular AWB runs (see this and this BRFA).
 * Template:BLP no footnotes: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:No footnotes; notified 22:02, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This template should automatically detect whether it is placed on a BLP page through Category:Living people, and change its appearance accordingly. This simplifies the tagging process, allows for easier prioritization of articles to improve for editors (e.g. BLP ones), and is a more elegant solution than a bot or regular AWB runs (see this and this BRFA).
 * Template:Falsepositive: nominated at RM; New name: Template:False positive 04:10, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Makes the template clearer and easier to read. The old name can still be used through a redirect.
 * Wikipedia:Naming conventions Indian constituencies: nominated at RM; New name: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Indian constituencies) 17:14, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Consistent with other naming conventions.

May 2022

 * User:14Hana/sandbox/un: nominated at MfD; notified 23:52, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Stale draft, clearly non-notable or non-discernible topic.
 * Street or road name: nominated at RM; New name: Street name 00:23, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: There is evidence that the term “street name” is more widely-used. See |Road_name pageviews, Google Trends, Google Ngrams and Google Search (2 million more hits). Additionally, the “or” seems unnatural and not consistent with other titles. Cheers!

June 2022

 * Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Clickable button: nominated at TfD; notified 00:58, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: No usage or insource results; I don't think this is useful as well. Endorsing deletion as co-Editor-in-Chief and pinging.

July 2022

 * Global Conflicts: Latin America: nominated at AfD; notified 22:28, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: I found a total of four sources for these games. There is this Itch entry (not RS; simply a storefront page, likely self-published), this MacGameStore entry (again, not RS), this self-published YouTube source about winning the BETT awards, and this source cited in Global Conflict: Palestine (403 Forbidden error). In all, I was not able to find reliable sources to justify inclusion of these two articles.

August 2022

 * Wikipedia:Article wizard: nominated at RM; New name: Wikipedia:Article Wizard 02:33, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: The capitalized, title-case version is the one used on the page currently. I don't have a policy-based reason specifically for why this title is better, but to me, it just "looks right".

December 2022

 * Template:The edit-summary field: nominated at RM; New name: Template:Edit summary field 22:44, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Per the Manual of Style, Do not use articles (a, an, or the) as the first word. While the MoS does not explicitly apply to non-article-space pages, it establishes standard convention for page titles. Additionally, per Help:Edit summary, "edit summary" is not spelt with a hyphen. Cheers!

January 2023

 * Wikipedia:Articles for creation: nominated at RM; New name: Wikipedia:Articles for Creation 05:01, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Per the page itself, Articles for Creation is the correct capitalization. A redirect to the uncapitalized title can be retained.

July 2023

 * Template:Fake heading: nominated at TfD; notified 03:23, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This template is unnecessary and causes loss of semantics as well as inaccessibility. It is currently mostly used on talk pages in quotes of an article's content, and on user pages. These uses are all misuses; there is no reason why a normal heading cannot be used. The template documentation employs the argument that this prevents the heading from appearing in the table of contents, but this is useless and bad practice: even if you're just mocking up a heading, it's still useful to show it as a part of the table for navigation, as it still appears on the page. Per MOS:PSEUDOHEAD, Screen readers and other assistive technology can only use headings that have heading markup for navigation.

August 2023

 * Martin Quinn (Gaelic footballer): nominated at RM; New name: Martin Quinn (footballer) 09:04, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Unnecessary disambiguation, as there are no other bluelinked Martin Quinns who are footballers.

December 2023

 * AI spring: nominated at RM; New name: AI boom 18:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: A minority of sources refer to the topic as an "AI spring"; most use the terminology "AI boom". 2 references in the article use spring, and 5 use boom. Additionally, see Google News hits for boom and spring; the vast majority of "spring" hits are false positives (referring to the season or last name spring), while there are a multitude of articles that use boom.

March 2024

 * List of fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery: nominated at RM; New name: List of Fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery 02:22, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Proper capitalization per https://awards.acm.org/fellows.
 * Template:WikimediaNoLicensing: nominated at TfD; notified 21:06, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This template is legally void. Text on Wikipedia is licensed under Creative Commons (CC) licenses that allow relicensing under later versions of the licenses, as well as some other specific compatible ones (Free Art, GPLv3). No template can change this fact; contributors agree to the license from the Terms of Use. Best,
