:Star and crescent → {{no redirect|Crescent and star}} – WP:COMMONNAME. More common form. AimanAbir18plus (talk) 20:42, 1 May 2025 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). AimanAbir18plus (talk) 15:12, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

  • Oppose. I reverted because this isn't the most common form. See [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=star+and+crescent%2Ccrescent+and+star&year_start=1800&year_end=2022&corpus=en&smoothing=3&case_insensitive=false ngrams]. There is no valid rationale here for moving from the longterm stable title.  — Amakuru (talk) 16:07, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
  • :The term "Crescent and star" instead of "Star and crescent" is mentioned all over the article. Then will have to change it to "Star and crescent" per title's name. AimanAbir18plus (talk) 17:06, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
  • ::"Star and crescent" is mentioned more times in the article prose than "crescent and star" (45 vs 25). Regardless, this can be "fixed" in a few seconds with standard editing tools. Yue🌙 06:58, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Google returns twice as many results for "star and crescent". Zacwill (talk) 17:51, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
