Official name vs English name edit
Why this categry (among others) is named "Mahon" and not "Maó", which is the official name in Catalan? --Catalaalatac (talk) 16:15, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
On the island everyone calls him "Maó", "Mahón" (or Mahon in english) is a name imposed by force by the Spanish state. It is a shame that the title of this category does not respect the original language of the island.--Lohen11 (talk) 08:06, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Catalaalatac and Lohen11: in general, we follow Wikipedia. Enwiki has en:Mahón. Our category:Mahón is a redirect--Estopedist1 (talk) 04:44, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
- You must respect the original names of the sites, this is the minimum respect that is expected of wikipedia for minorities.--Lohen11 (talk) 19:20, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
