Template:VND → Template:Vietnamese đồng – Per WP:TG, Template function should be clear from the template name, but redirects can be created to assist everyday use of very popular templates. For people who are unfamiliar with ISO 4217 (i.e. the vast majority of people), the function of the template is very much not clear from the template name – clearly violating TG. Therefore, we should expand the name per WP:TG and keep a redirect from the ISO 4217 names. Using the full name is also consistent with numerous other templates in Category:Currency templates following Template talk:Chinese yuan#Requested move 8 September 2024.

I selected the name with diacritics because it matches our mainspace article Vietnamese đồng; the diacritic-less {{Vietnamese dong}} already exists as a redirect (and therefore can be used by editors when writing articles, just like how {{VND}} will continue to work). I would be okay if we renamed to {{Vietnamese dong}}, though I would prefer to be consistent with our mainspace article. House Blaster (talk • he/they) 02:17, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
