International/American
[edit]AEW has officially changed the name of the International Title into the American Title on their championship roll call and on their roster page, however they didn't update their title history page (for what it's worth they still have MJF's reign listed as 5 days event thought 8 days have passed since he won the title). This looks like a case of sloppy housekeeping on AEW's part - they update one part of their website but not the other. A problem we run into with WWE from time to time in years past as well.

- @Vjmlhds Given that the championship belt itself is a custom belt for MJF, this is not an official name change and it's just a brief unofficial thing for MJF's character. Remember, he did this before with the world championship. He had his own custom version that he called the Big Burberry Belt (or Triple B for short). Also, he beat Will Ospreay for the title and Will Ospreay did this exact thing with the IWGP United States Championship by unofficially changing it to the United Kingdom Championship. And of course there's the official title history, which is the definitive source, and it is still the International Championship there. They typically don't wait a full 24 hours to update those.

- The custom belt doesn't matter (Mark Briscoe has a custom camouflage belt for the ROH World Title), it's the fact AEW has listed the title as the "American Championship" on their championship roll call and roster page. JDC is correct is saying it's a retelling of Ospreay's IWGP US/UK Championship storyline. Difference is while NJPW didn't officially change the name of the title then, AEW is doing so with their title now. And remember this - the roll call, roster page, and championship history all come from the same place - the AEW website. one part got updated, the other didn't. Classic case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing - the epitome of sloppy housekeeping. Vjmlhds (talk) 23:37, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Requested move
[edit]Pierre Carl Ouellet → PCO (wrestler). McPhail (talk) 16:44, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yet another violation of a key component of the policy (parenthetical disambiguation is intended to be a last resort, not a first resort). RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 17:11, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- That's not an accurate representation of WP:NCDAB, which states "Natural disambiguation that is unambiguous, commonly used, and clear is generally preferable to parenthetical disambiguation". McPhail (talk) 20:16, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
NWA Hawaii Heavyweight Championship
[edit]Would someone please fix the error at NWA Hawaii Heavyweight Championship. The last entry in the title history table is #140 for J.T. Wolfen starting July 4, 2009. A new editor changed the reign period from
{{age in days nts|July 4, 2009}}
to
{{age in days nts|July 4, 2009|2010}}
The change gives an error because {{age in days}} cannot work without a full date. On the other hand, undoing that edit would currently show 5,510 days which is obviously wrong. If the correct date can be found, please enter it. Otherwise, remove the template so at least it is not showing junk. Johnuniq (talk) 08:23, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
