Talk:Southern Tagalog Arterial Road

message: From what I hear, the plan is to connect the South Luzon Expressway to the STAR Tollway, after which the whole thing will be integrated as one expressway with theo whole thing being called the South Luzon Expressway. When that happens, I suppose the two articles should be merged. Coffee 12:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Southern Tagalog Arterial Road →  – The short form with the "Tollway" suffix is more commonly used than its full form. Article should have been using the common name from the start. TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 22:08, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  That shouldn’t be an issue. the decision to use full names is to accommodate our wider readership, but that doesn’t mean we’ll provide exceptions under WP:COMMONNAME. I’ve already moved Skyway from the unwieldy Metro Manila Skyway that’s only used in official documents (through GMaps continue using it since the Map Maker days). For NAIAX, the article has been named like that from the start, and there’s no need to spell out NAIA as both Filipinos and non-Filipinos will understand it as as the Philippines’ primary international airport.

replies: text:  In addition, naming the expressways by their common abbreviated names instead of their full names is somewhat problematic  provided the abbreviations changed by time. To make this point (mentioned in WT:TAMBAY). NLEX was originally called NLE , then the final X was added, first small (during the Erap and PGMA years), then becoming big during the PNoy era. Same as with SLEX:  SLE -> SLEx -> SLEX. In addition, the expressway’s full names are also equally used as their abbreviations, AFAIK, and using them instead of full names will not be attractive to our international readership. But again, that doesn’t mean we won’t make our naming scheme flexible to account prevailing usage. That would have meant Skyway and Startoll were named here in WP under their shorter, more recognizable names as found on signage rather than their officialese forms on paper.TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 08:03, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

text:  Don't you think that that name is kinda unrecognisable? —hueman1 (talk • contributions) 10:10, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I would say people are more familiar with “STAR Tollway” or “STAR Toll/Startoll”. The previous logo says STAR Tollway until SMC Tollways took over, but still, the longer form pre-SMC stuck.-TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 19:15, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
