:Second Syrian transitional government → {{no redirect|Syrian Transitional Government}} – see talk page "Why is this second?". RamiPat (talk) 09:09, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

:This may be a complicated one but I did my best.

:To ensure clarity, I will refer to the government formed on 10 December 2024—referred to on Wikipedia as the "First Syrian transitional government"—as the "December government.".

:And the government formed on 29 March 2025—referred to on Wikipedia as the "Second Syrian transitional government"—as the "March government."

:It appears that Wikipedia is the only platforms (or one of the few) that refers to the March government as the "Second" transitional government.

:Upon reviewing multiple sources, it seems like many described the December government as a "transitional government". However, outlets such as Syria TV ,{{cite news |title=تعرّف إلى السير الذاتية لوزراء أول حكومة سورية بعد سقوط نظام الأسد |trans-title=Learn about the biographies of ministers in Syria's first government after the fall of the Assad regime |url=https://www.syria.tv/تعرّف-إلى-السير-الذاتية-لوزراء-أول-حكومة-سورية-بعد-سقوط-نظام-الأسد |work=Syria TV |date=30 March 2025 |lang=ar}} CNN,{{cite news |title=Syria swears in new transitional government months after Assad’s removal |url=https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/03/30/middleeast/syria-new-transitional-government-intl-hnk |work=CNN |date=30 March 2025}}{{efn|Called the December government as "Interim Government", which if used on Wikipedia may cause confusion with the Syrian Interim Government.}} and Euronews,{{cite news |title=Syria swears in new transitional government on the eve of Eid-al-Fitr |url=https://www.euronews.com/2025/03/30/syria-swears-in-new-transitional-government-on-the-eve-of-eid-al-fitr |work=Euronews |date=30 March 2025}}{{efn|Called the December government as "Interim Government", which if used on Wikipedia may cause confusion with the Syrian Interim Government.}} referred to the March government as "Syria’s first government post-Assad" or "Syria's first transitional government".

:Additionally, during the swearing-in ceremony of the March government, display screens at the presidential palace in Damascus featured short biographies of the new ministers.{{cite news |title=محمد يسر برنية وزير المالية.. معلومات عنه |trans-title=Mohammed Yusr Barniyeh, Minister of Finance..

It said "حكومة تصريف الأعمال" ({{langx|en|Caretaker government}}).

:I think "Mohammed al-Bashir caretaker government" or "Al-Bashir caretaker government" serves good to clarify its role. I did not suggest "Mohammed al-Bashir Government" because it may cause confusion with his government in the Syrian Salvation Government.

::Support I support the renaming of the December government and the March government to Syrian caretaker government and Syrian transitional government, respectively. RyanW1995 (talk) 14:14, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

:If we change the name we should call the December-March government the ‘Syrian caretaker government’ or something like that. Jobfr (talk) 10:42, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

::Yes I suggested that in there as well RamiPat (talk) 11:23, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

• Support moving the disambiguation page to "Syrian transitional government (disambiguation)", this page to "Syrian transitional government" (supporting lowercased t and g), and moving the first Syrian transitional government page to "Syrian caretaker government". It is more organized that way. 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk · contribs) 19:24, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

:Support renaming the incumbent administration to the Syrian transitional government (removing "second")

:But about the December government I would rename it to the Mohammed al-Bashir government to maintain consistency with previous Syrian governments. I also suggest dropping the "caretaker" label as it's superfluous. Tahomaru (talk) 19:20, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

::But wouldn't that cause confusion as he also headed a government during the times the Syrian Salvation Government? RamiPat (talk) 16:53, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

:Support per nom (and even if this isn't renamed to Syrian Transitional Government, the current name should be changed anyway because of WP:NOR). Asclepias tuberosa (talk) 20:10, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
