naming policy - abbreviations
Why not use the disambig function if an abbreviation can mean multiple things? Don't get why we can't use it that way.
- Because we don't want this wiki to get full of some disambig articles about abbreviations that can be made from every page of this wiki (it would mean almos 14000 new redirects/disambigs). No thank you. --

What to do if...
... if a Military unit changes its name?
although I am new to the wiki, so far I met several examples that would find this question quite interesting. a template update (similar to the party-name-changing) would fill in the blanks just perfectly. -- Destroyer S87
- Create new article for the unit with the new name. --AndyCro
