Ottawa Road 174 → Ottawa City Road 174 – This is also posted on Template talk:Jcon#Ottawa "Regional" Roads. I noticed that Template:Jcon is linking Ottawa Roads to 'Ottawa City Road %' (i.e. Ottawa City Road 174) (Template link: Road 174), while the Ottawa numbered road articles are titled 'Ottawa Road %' (i.e. Ottawa Road 174). Is the best course of action for a fix to modify the template to the article link, or rename (move) the article to reflect the format? At this point I think the only article that would really be affected would be Ottawa Road 174. I beleive other numbered roads in cities use "City Road" as the naming convention.

Comment Is "Ottawa City Road 174" actually the common name? Your proposal seems to suggest moving this article simply to make the template code work better, which is not how we do things. 162 etc. (talk) 20:56, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was actually attempting to determine whether the article(s) or the template code had the correct name. Can advise which one would need changing? MuzikMachine (talk) 18:29, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
From what I can tell, "Ottawa Road 174" is what the City of Ottawa calls it. I don't see any evidence to support "Ottawa City Road 174". 162 etc. (talk) 19:04, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect. Then barring any other replies to the contrary, the Template Code should be updated to 'Road ###'. MuzikMachine (talk) 22:26, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
