• This doesn't look controversial at first glance, but I do not feel comfortable doing this until the reasons for/effects of this edit are explained. User:Gonta-Kun has been pinged to a conversation on this several times at User talk:Paine Ellsworth, but has not replied. User:Gonta-Kun, please explain in English or Japanese.

元に戻しました。--Gonta-Kun (talk) 05:11, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(Gonta-Kun notes that he has reverted the edits I expressed concerns about.) Gonta, thank you for your willingness to make changes. But since the move request is still open even though the target redirecting elsewhere, I still wonder how the move would affect the pages where the templates are used. Dekimasuよ! 11:34, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Dekimasu: according to the transclusions of the Template:Ehime FC redirect, the target should be this template, because as of now, the only thing the articles show (near the bottom) is the name link as it appears from ((Fb team Ehime FC)) – example: 2012 Ehime FC season#References. Instead, those pages should show this navbar, ((Ehime F.C.)). So this (pretty much technical) template page move will fix those articles.  Paine Ellsworth  ^put'r there  09:19, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PS. I suspect that the renames at Template talk:F.C. Gifu and Template talk:Tochigi S.C. are similarly but technical, also. I read somewhere that full stops (periods) are not used in the Japanese names and so should not be used in English translations.

PPS. To editors Dekimasu and Gonta-Kun: I also wonder how MOS:POINTS may apply to all this? PPS left by  Paine Ellsworth  ^put'r there  00:59, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dekimasu: it is totally legit that changing Template:Ehime FC as a redirect to Template:Ehime F.C. instead of Template:Fb team Ehime FC. Template:Fb team Ehime FC should not had redirect and those template should obsolete at all (see previous mass deletion discussion of those "Fb team" templates), the old redirect was a relic of misnaming of the "Fb team" templates series. Also, since the club article was located in Ehime FC, it is a totally uncontroversial move. Matthew_hk tc 12:14, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
