Hi.
Since I'm still relatively inexperienced when it comes to editing, I thought I might share what I have before I make any hasty changes.
My impression of 'Powadhi' being the most commonly used spelling was wrong.
Searching on 'Google Books':
A) For the language:
Search Text | Number of Results |
---|---|
poadhi punjab | 784 |
powadhi punjab | 393 |
puadhi punjab | 731 |
pwadhi punjab | 427 |
B) For the place:
Search Text | Number of Results |
---|---|
poadh punjab | 390 |
powadh punjab | 724 |
puadh punjab | 228 |
pwadh punjab | 6 |
C) Combined (A+B)
Search Text (A+B) | Number of Results (A+B) |
---|---|
poadh(i) punjab | 1174 |
powadh(i) punjab | 1117 |
puadh(i) punjab | 959 |
pwadh(i) punjab | 433 |
It seems the deeper we look we find that there is no single spelling that stands out as most common.
If we agree that both topics, the place and the language, should share a common base spelling, then table C should be the one to go by.
One conclusion we can safely draw from table C is that Pwadh(i) is clearly used least often amongst the ones I've looked at. Thus, at the very least, the language page needs a new name (currently Pwadhi_dialect).
I am inclined towards using 'Puadh(i)' as the spelling is literally the
IAST transliteration of ਪੁਆਧੀ (name of the language). You can also look at
Google Translate for ਪੁਆਧੀ, it uses some sort of transliteration that reads Pu'ādhī, and in English it says Puadhi. It's consistent with its native name and it's used comparably as much as the other two most common spellings.
I'm committed to fixing this mess over the next few days by making the following changes:
Spelling of choice: Puadh.
1) Move Pwadhi_dialect to Puadhi_language (fixing all redirects while I'm at it)
2) Move Poadh to Puadh and fix redirects
3) Find and rename all other variants of the spellings on related topics to 'Puadh(i)'
4) Redirect the related '_people' pages to a 'People' section under the Puadh topic.
I'll also put this discussion under the talk page for the language. -- HFret ( talk) 08:23, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

England Your England" as being pejorative, but then he was born in India...[[Puadhi language|Puadhi]]
}}) where appropriate. i.e. just general housekeeping.[[Puadh#People]]
, so that is what you would do in the redirects. (You can catgegorise them as {{
R to section}}
). It is better sometimes to use {{
anchor}}
because section names can change, and that breaks incoming links. (I've put an anchor where you changed the name of the
Puadh#Powadhi dialect section for that reason). It is good practice when linking to a section to add a courtesy note at the target per
WP:RSECT or
MOS:LINK2SECT, so that editors in future are wary of changing or removing the section name.<ref group="Note">my note here...</ref>
syntax. Then you generate a separate list for this group with {{
reflist|group="Note"}}
and they will be "Note 1", "Note 2" etc. This keeps the notes and references separate.Thanks for creating Crafty (illustrator).
