Unproposed, and the template looks like it would not be accepted. So, this is now up for discussion. Unless there is objection to the category as a whole, I'd suggest at least changing the template to TaiKadai-lang-stub. Dawynn (talk) 11:49, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, these two are identically named, with the exception of the capital 'S'. While Wikipedia can handle this just fine, I would think this could easily cause confusion for editors. Propose renaming the second one to GloucesterShireAU-geo-stub. Dawynn (talk) 02:28, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose was so named to be consistent with other stub templates in the local region such as Cessnock-geo-stub, DungogShire-geo-stub, GreatLakesCouncil-geo-stub, HunterRegion-geo-stub, LakeMacquarie-geo-stub, Maitland-geo-stub and MuswellbrookShire-geo-stub, none of which include "AU". There is a map of Australia on  and  has a map of England to avoid any confusion. Perhaps  could be renamed to GloucestershireUK-geo-stub. --AussieLegend (talk) 03:32, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename both per AussieLegend for the UK one, and per Dawynn for the AU one, and delete the remaining redirects (after replacing links) to prevent further confusion. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 09:07, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Honestly, I don't see how adding AU or UK to either template would reduce the confusion that Dawynn thinks could be caused. All stub templates, except stub tend to be confusing because people don't realise most exist. Without redirects, as proposed by 76.65.128.132, if somebody was to use "Gloucestershire" instead of "GloucestershireUK" how would they resolve their mistake? You could follow the category tree from stub to find the right template, but is that improving the current situation? I think not. At the moment, if you misspell either word, the differences, and the error, are blindingly obvious. Renaming either template will replace a possible problem with an easy resolution with a likely problem that has a possibly confusing and time consuming resolution. And, of course, we must ask ourselves, has the problem suggested by Dawynn ever actually occurred? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. --AussieLegend (talk) 12:20, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
