The title of the page

I doubt that "Suomi-konepistooli" is a good name for this page. This term is nearly unknown outside Finland. As for me, "Suomi submachine gun" would be a better choice. --Greg-Z (talk) 13:01, 21 November 2021 (EST)

That would make sense, since "konepistooli" is just "submachine gun" in Finnish. TheExplodingBarrel (talk) 13:29, 21 November 2021 (EST)

TBH, I don't see why the name change was entirely necessary. It's not like we don't have pages where the most common/prevalent/recognizable member of the family is the headline, even if it wasn't the first (e.g. the Luger P08), and it's not like the KP/26 is going to see that many media appearances anyway. We could probably just move it back and call it a day. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 14:10, 21 November 2021 (EST) P.S.: No, this has nothing to do with my distaste for page titles with unnecessary gun type descriptions in them, what makes you think that?

So, does anybody object to me just moving it back? Like I said, the KP/26 is a minor enough entry that I don't think it needs to influence the page's name. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 09:42, 14 December 2021 (EST)

Done. --Greg-Z (talk) 10:14, 15 December 2021 (EST)
