With the reorganisation of the WSL, the WSL 2 will technically no longer exist. In its place is the new Women's Championship, which seems on first glance to simply be WSL2 rebranded - at least, that's how the media keep referring to it. The thing is, the actual evidence is that the Championship will be to a greater or lesser extent a whole new competition. Organisationally they may both be run by the FA but they have cut the Championship off from the old Super League branding, the WSL has been made professional-only whereas the Championship has not and there is no longer any promotion and relegation between the two leagues, except for where a Championship team may turn pro and apply to transfer (or potentially the opposite, I guess), whereas I believe there will still be promotion/relegation to the new Women's National League, which will be the level below. In many ways the Championship will be more related to levels below this than above.
I therefore wonder whether we should make a whole new article for the Women's Championship, and preserve this as a historical article about a discontinued division - similar to such articles as, say, Football League First Division and Football League Third Division North, or Athenian League and The Combination for that matter. Would anyone object if I were to take this action? Falastur2 Talk 10:32, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not Moved. The consensus appears to be that the proposed name is too Vague and that there are many other Women Championships. Disambiguating the proposed title found no consensus. >>> Extorc. talk 13:40, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
FA Women's Championship → Women's Championship – Under the new rebrand, "The FA" has been dropped from the league name as part of the long term strategy for the league to be under new ownership in the future.

This needs moving. The FA Women's Championship isn't its name. This is supposed to be factual and an encyclopaedia, not something that is incorrect on purpose. Why not just call The Empire State building article The Pepsi Empire State Building, or have an article on the Footlocker White House whilst we are at it?
