Invitation to comment at Template:Link language RfC
I saw that you once commented in relation to this matter, so I wanted to invite you to comment at Template talk:Link language, which (in my mind) is criminally underattended.

Capitalization X Line
Re Talk:Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya_Line "since sources do not support treating these as proper names" is an incorrect statement. The pro-voters run into RU/UA/BY articles, will move articles and leave an inconsistent mess at least for RU, since they won't find all occurrences. Currently for Russia it is consistently upper case, cannot say for UA/BY. 213.39.177.5 (talk) 03:14, 14 December 2017 (UTC)


 * will move articles and leave an inconsistent mess — To me that sounds like “this is just the start of cleaning up the articles to conform to the Manual of Style conventions.” Sounds good. I will add my vote. Thank you. —Michael Z. 2017-12-14 18:32 z
