"Sufetula" needs to redirect here

[edit]

A WP search for "Sufetula" must redirect automatically here. Who can do it? ArmindenArminden (talk) 11:11, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Title

[edit]

It is common on WP and generally in any encyclopaedia to set the main term first, so

  • Sufetula (archaeological site), or if you insist
  • Sbeitla (archaeological site), with "Sufetula" redirecting here.

It is not a matter of national pride to insist on the modern name, people come to WP to find explanations, and they use the search terms most familiar to them. See Petra, not Al-Batra, Ephesus, not Efes, Alexandria, not Eskenderiya. Thanks, ArmindenArminden (talk) 11:11, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
