Special Tactical Squad → Special Tactical Contingent – Special Tactical Squad is an incorrect name for the unit. The official name of the unit is the Special Tactical Contingent WP:OFFICIAL (see section above). The name Special Tactical Squad has been used by media since December 2014.[1] The English translation is the issue as the 2014 Sun article had the correct Chinese name. The Hong Kong Police Force website seems to have first mentioned the unit in either Chinese or English in 2016. The 2017 Review uses the Chinese: 特別任務連 name and English name Special Tactical Contingent.[2] The media it appears did not notice this name, or decide to change, and continued to use Special Tactical Squad. It would have been an uncontroversial move except for the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests in which the unit received considerable publicity. Special Tactical Squad is now as consequence the WP:COMMONNAME. A Google search of "Special Tactical Squad" and "Hong Kong" returned 14,000 results while a search of "Special Tactical Contingent" and "Hong Kong" only returned 585 results. The name will be substantially the same if it was moved as only the last word would be changed. Otherwise an alternative MOS:ALTNAME is change the first sentence to or similar: Special Tactical Squad (STS) (Chinese: 特別戰術小隊, nicknamed Raptors; Chinese: 速龍小隊), officially known as Special Tactical Contingent (STC), is a ... .
