National Highway 26 (India)National Highway 26 (India)(old numbering) – As per all other pages, for uniformity and also it is old numbering system. Make way for creating new numbering system with this name. Vin09(talk) 06:48, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, changed per your rationale to single parenthesis, check if its right? If you wish, we'll take this to Wiki Indian roads to change them.--Vin09(talk) 05:15, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the discussions on old NHs Talk:National_Highway_1D_(India)(old_numbering)#Requested_moves -- naveenpf (talk) 07:16, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Naveenpf: So, what should I keep now for this?--Vin09(talk) 06:43, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Since article is describing old NH, we need to keep it as National Highway 26 (India)(old numbering). -- naveenpf (talk) 07:15, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@SMcCandlish: That's what it is mentioned above. There was a discussion it seems regarding old NHs at [[Talk:National_Highway_1D_(India)(old_numbering)#Requested_moves as @Naveenpf: told. All the pages were moved as per that. Now, what should be done?--Vin09(talk) 04:03, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if this goes as I expect, mass-RM them to sensible names. Should, somehow, this RM come to no consensus, have an RfC about it, at WT:AT, the talk page of the naming policy, since this "Foo (bar)(baz)" format is utterly unheard-of in WP history. LOL.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  05:10, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose , the double parenthetical is an abomination besides being not very clear. That some other stuff has been unnoticed before should not be regarded as good precedent. olderwiser 16:27, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Necrothesp: If I want to create National highway 16 (new numbering) with the content same as National Highway 5 (India)(old numbering). what should I do?--Vin09(talk) 13:42, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As you have done. Just move it. But ensure you (a) specify the old number in the article, (b) once you've renamed both the articles, rename it back to National Highway 16 (India), and (c) add a hatnote to National Highway 5 (India) pointing to National Highway 16 (India). We don't need two more or less identical articles for the same road even if the number has changed. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:54, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Necrothesp: I've moved National Highway 16 (India)(old numbering).--Vin09(talk) 12:04, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's it. Now I've named that to National Highway 16 (India), as it's now the only road with that name, and added a hatnote to the old road with that number. This is the way to do it to prevent confusion and retain information. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:18, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Necrothesp: I'll do it for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana related pages.--Vin09(talk) 05:29, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

What to do now?

[edit]

It seems like a wider discussion is needed as to how to handle the changed numbering scheme for the India national highways. As noted above in the discussion, it seems silly to maintain a whole suite of articles for both the old and new numbers. Where a road with number has simply swapped to another number (or even one where the large majority is the same road), it seems sensible to just move the old number page to the new number page. Where is the best place to look up the exact changes that have happened? Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 16:13, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Amakuru: The ref is the old numbering, and it is the new numbering.--Vin09(talk) 16:17, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
