Harrogate is mentioned, and for me there is no primary one since I have never heard of either, or Harrogate, South Australia or at least another one in England for that matter. A minority of editors on WP have argued that the article names should be clear about where the place is, even if there is a common name that is not commonly know by English speakers. In many cases, on the English wiki, the category and article names do not match with the category name being the more precise one. I will add that I like it when commons and WP have the same names for the categories and I’m appalled when they differ.
I wonder if both commons and WP should allow for speedy category name changes when one changes to a more precise or better qualified name? Change so that the category names stay reasonably in sync. Since I’m not a regular here, I don’t know how everything works. If consensus is to allow for the speedy criteria as I suggested above, I’m willing to start that discussion.
I have actually used the name on commons as a reason to keep or change the name on WP!
I am convinced the categories should be named homogenously if possible, i. e. the whole title should be in one language in those cases. For instance, at Portuguese churches it could be either Portuguese or English (well, I would personally prefere Esperanto as a neutral solution, but most users don’t speak it now).
Mixing two languages makes understanding the names impossible for users not speaking both of them simultaneously, thus for absolute majority of the visitors. Also automatical translation (Google Translate etc.) isn’t usable well in those cases.
So I think both ex. Category:Capelinha das Aparicoes (Fatima) and Category:Chapel of Apparitions (Fatima) are good, but Category:Chapel of the Aparicoes (Fatima) not. Continue reading One reason for difference is that when WP changes names, there is no notification to commons
