Total quotient ring of R[x][edit]

It is strange to speak of rational functions over a ring that is not a field. The reference currently cited defines the field of rational functions only over a ground field K. The sentence could be changed to assume that R is a field, but then this becomes just an instance of the field of fractions of an integral domain, so it fits better at field of fractions, not here. (In fact, this example already appears there.) Ebony Jackson (talk) 05:18, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Total quotient ring → Total ring of fractions – Mainly because I like the new name better :) More seriously, the new name seems more standard and accurate. The field of fractions used to be called the quotient field, but because of confusion with quotient ring, the terminology is no longer in use. It makes sense to adopt the modern terminology here as well.--Relisted. George Ho (talk) 17:27, 1 May 2015 (UTC) Taku (talk) 15:00, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support I'm not an expert, but Total ring of fractions does seem like the modern term for it. As long as there is a redirect from Total quotient ring and the alternative names remain in the article, I would have no problem with this move. --Mark viking (talk) 19:32, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
