Use of "Czechia" in the text of articles
[edit]What's the latest rule on whether "Czechia" can be used in the text of articles. For example, would the use of "Czechia" be permitted in a sentence like "Semmelknödel are a food specialty in southern Germany, Austria, Slovenia and Czechia, as well as northern Italy..."? Is there currently anything stated on this? Thanks. — AjaxSmack 15:52, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
- I don't believe so (t · c) buIdhe 16:04, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
- Per MOS:GEO,
a place should generally be referred to consistently by the same name as in the title of its article
, because that is the consensus of the users. This applies to this name too. When the country page is moved, it will indicate that there is consensus to use the new name, and it will be changed everywhere en masse. FromCzech (talk) 16:05, 29 December 2025 (UTC)- True, but this is also a long name/short name issue along the lines of Republic of Ireland/Ireland or United Kingdom/UK. I understand the Czech case is more contentious, but shorter or unofficial names are used to be concise in running text in the cases of other countries. — AjaxSmack 16:16, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
- Yup, but we don't yet have consensus on whether to use it in the case of the Czech Republic. I suppose at some point another discussion will be opened at Talk:Czech Republic. Jdcooper (talk) 17:31, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Birth/death places in bios
[edit]Hello. Was there a consensus to add "(now Czech Republic)" to bios of people born or died in Czechoslovakia? I've noticed inconsistencies on many bios. GoodDay (talk) 15:47, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- I am not aware of this. This detail may be in the text, but should not be in the infobox. FromCzech (talk) 19:40, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- I had found them in some of the Czech presidents & prime ministers infoboxes & deleted them. GoodDay (talk) 19:57, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- GoodWork, GoodDay. FromCzech (talk) 06:30, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- What exactly is the objection to including this small clarification in the infobox? I would have thought it is useful context for readers. Jdcooper (talk) 13:03, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- FromCzech and Jdcooper, I assume GoodDay removed it per MOS:GEO. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 11:13, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
- The only mention of this issue I can see there is: "For clarity, consider also mentioning the current name of the area (for example, "in what is now France"), especially if no English name exists for that area in the relevant historical period." I think providing a clarification of the modern-day country of someone's birth is useful and helpful to readers, and doesn't take up too much space. Jdcooper (talk) 00:39, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, birthplace is usually mentioned in the first sentence of a biography, and it is okay to mention the current territorial division in brackets. But it is pretty consistently not put in the infobox (at least as far as Czechs and Slovaks are concerned) and I am OK with that (I don't think it's that important that it extends the infobox by at least one more line). The infobox only provides basic information in brief. FromCzech (talk) 07:58, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
