	:::::[[BBC News]] has been one of the longest adherents of the "X, formerly known as Twitter" wording in its news stories. However, in more recent news stories such as [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2e1y02w21o this one] from June 2025, it simply says X. So maybe it is time to start thinking about renaming the article.--'''''[[User:ianmacm\|<span style="background:#88b;color:#cff;font-variant:small-caps">♦Ian<span style="background:#99c">Ma<span style="background:#aad">c</span></span>M♦</span>]] <sup>[[User_talk:ianmacm\|(talk to me)]]</sup>''''' 07:05, 2 July 2025 (UTC)		:::::[[BBC News]] has been one of the longest adherents of the "X, formerly known as Twitter" wording in its news stories.

	::::::Personally I would prefer a title that reflects both the official name and the former name (as they are still often used [https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/elon-musk-owned-social-media-platform-twitter-appoints-new-product-head/ar-AA1HJXk6 together]), but I don't know that could be achieved. --[[User:Not-cheesewhisk3rs\|cheesewhisk3rs]] ([[User_talk:Not-cheesewhisk3rs\|pester]]) 07:58, 2 July 2025 (UTC)		::::::Personally I would prefer a title that reflects both the official name and the former name (as they are still often used [https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/elon-musk-owned-social-media-platform-twitter-appoints-new-product-head/ar-AA1HJXk6 together]), but I don't know that could be achieved. --[[User:Not-cheesewhisk3rs\|cheesewhisk3rs]] ([[User_talk:Not-cheesewhisk3rs\|pester]]) 07:58, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
			:Yes but look at the wiki pages for [[China]] and [[Taiwan]]. China is officially called the People’s republic of China and Taiwan is officially called the Republic of China. But we don’t say the full names just cuz they say that’s their name. Same goes with TWITTER. Posts are called “Tweets”, not “Xs”.
