Please replace the ''<tt>new better name of article, template or category</tt>'' text with the actual preferred new name of the article, [[template]], or [[category]]; and don't forget to briefly state your reasons. This {{tag|Housekeeping templates|housekeeping template}} automatically detects the actual [[WikiIndex:Namespace conventions|namespace]] in which it is being used, therefore, there is no need to include the namespace identifier for the new name suggestion (providing you are suggesting a rename within the <u>same</u> namespace). If it is not possible to add the reason within the actual template, please indicate on their respective [[talk page]]s the reason(s) for the requested [[WikiIndex:Naming conventions|rename]], and please be prepared to subsequently respond to any comments or requests for clarity. | Please replace the ''<tt>new better name of article, template or category</tt>'' text with the actual preferred new name of the article, [[template]], or [[category]]; and don't forget to briefly state your reasons.

When specifically requesting a '''[[Special:Categories|category]] rename''', correct or better grammar is a strong reason, as is changing a plural category name into a singular. Specifically for categories, it is an absolute given that a category will (or should) contain <u>more than one</u> article (and / or sub-category) within, so there is no need to use a pluralised name. Furthermore, unlike [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], here on WikiIndex, we actually use MANY categories as 'articles'; that is to say, for many subjects which are not directly (and exclusively) related to '[[wiki]]' (such as [[:Category: | When specifically requesting a '''[[Special:Categories|category]] rename''', correct or better grammar is a strong reason, as is changing a plural category name into a singular.
