Frequently asked questions Why don't you rename this article to "X (social network)"? As of April 2025[update], there isconsensus against renaming Twitter-related articles to "X". Numerous discussions have been held on this matter, none of which has resulted in consensus tomove orsplit; seethis extensive list of past discussions.Please do not attempt to make a new move request unless the situation has changed or you have a convincing argument that has not been considered.For recognizability and ease of searching, Wikipedia articles usethe name most commonly used in reliable sources, which is not necessarily the official name used by its owner orits current name. For example, we useKanye West instead ofYe (musician),Statue of Liberty instead ofLiberty Enlightening the World, andUnited Kingdom instead ofUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.Twitter and its related terms (such astweet, a dictionary word) remain widely recognizable to the general public due to its history and cultural impact. Renaming this page "X" would also require some form of parenthetical disambiguation, whereas Wikipediaprefers the use of natural disambiguation if possible. Finally, there is "no consensus that Twitter and X are such radically and fundamentally different products that they should be covered entirely separately".[a]

Twitter →X (social network)X (social network) – Current reliable sources overwhelmingly refer to the platform as “X”. Sampling of reliable sources consistently shows that these sources refer to “Twitter” only in historical or “formerly known as” contexts. Usage guides and reference works (e.g., AP Stylebook, Encyclopedia Britannica) have also adopted “X” for present-day use. Common objections based on colloquial speech, legacy terminology, URLs, or disambiguation concerns are inconsistent with Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines and past practice for renamed entities. Detailed explanation below.Dustinscottc (talk) 00:00, 9 February 2026 (UTC)— Relisting. –LuniZunie(talk)07:27, 16 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject'sofficial name as an article title; it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority ofindependent,reliable, English-language sources) as such names will usually best fit thefive criteria listed above. When there is no single, obvious name that is demonstrably the most frequently used for the topic by these sources, editors should reach aconsensus as to which title is best by considering these criteria directly.
determined by [the name’s] prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources.”
(emphasis in original)If the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match. If, on the other hand, reliable sources written after the name change is announced continue to use the established namewhen discussing the article topic in the present day, Wikipedia should continue to do so as well, as described above at § Use commonly recognizable names.
Use the social platform X on first reference. Reference to its former name of Twitter may or may not be necessary, depending on the story. Limit use of the verbs tweet and tweeted other than in direct quotations. Instead: posted on X, said in a post on X, etc.” (last updated April 2024).
Recognizability – The title is a name or description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize.In this regard, "X (social network)" clearly fails because the vast majority of readers are likely familiar with the name "Twitter" as long as they have been around for the past 20 years, whereas the same cannot be said for "X", which remains a fairly recent name change. Bythe company's own admission: "Each day, more than four million users access the X platform through theTwitter.com domain; users around the world continue to refer to the platform asTwitter and posts astweets [...] Twitter is one of the world's most recognized brands [...] consumers and the media consistently refer to X Corp.'s core product asTwitter and its posts astweets [...] the continuing popularity and use ofTwitter is readily apparent and often the subject of reporting". The question of whether "X" has superseded "Twitter" as the most common name used in reliable sources is also not as clear-cut as the nominator makes it sound: where mentioned, "X" is often qualified with "formerly known as Twitter" or a similar phrase, a clear indicator that "X" has yet to establish itself as a widely recognizable name on its own that rings a bell with most readers.Secondly,WP:NAMECHANGES is a subsection ofWP:COMMONNAME that merely clarifies its definition in the context of a name change; in other words, it is a supplement to an existing policy, not a separate "rule" to be viewed on its own. Quoted out of context, it appears that NAMECHANGES is telling us wemust move an article if
reliable sources [...] routinely use the new name; in reality, it merely explains how to evaluate sources when identifying the COMMONNAME after a name change. However, this is not the only consideration we give when determining the common name of a subject, and certainly not the sole determinant of the most suitable article title. Focusing only on a single PAG while disregarding others would be narrow-minded and poor judgment. Further down the page,WP:NATURAL provides a key exception to COMMONNAME — and by extension, NAMECHANGES:
Using an alternative name that the subject is also commonly called in English reliable sources,albeit not as commonly as the preferred-but-ambiguous title, is sometimes preferred.This is corroborated byWP:NCDAB in even stronger wording, ranking "natural disambiguation" as the most preferable form of disambiguation above parenthetical and other forms of disambiguation:
When there is another term (such asApartment instead ofFlat) or more complete name (such asEnglish language instead ofEnglish) that is unambiguous, commonly used in English (even without being the most common term), and equally clear, that term is typically the best to use.The "apartment" vs. "flat" example here shuts down the nominator's claim that "natural disambiguation refers to when you can add additional words to naturally refer to an article's subject — not using a whole different word or name" as objectively false.Hence, in terms of disambiguation, there is no question that "Twitter" is far superior to "X (social network)", and it is also moreWP:CONCISE by 2 words and 11 characters. That means "Twitter" wins in at least three of the five CRITERIA: recognizability, naturalness, and concision. These CRITERIA are the guiding principles behind all of Wikipedia's naming conventions, so when in doubt, they take precedence above all;WP:IAR tells us to useWP:COMMONSENSE rather than attempt toblindly attempt to follow "the rules" without regard for their intent. If we blindly adhere to NAMECHANGES to a T while contradicting its underlying principles as expressed by CRITERIA, what good is an article title that is "commonly" used by reliable sources but unfamiliar and thereforeunhelpful to readers? What is theWP:PURPOSE of Wikipedia? Finally, there is substantial precedent for using a former name that continues to be vastly more commonly recognizable than the official name as the article title, including:Kanye West ("Ye"),Turkey ("Türkiye"),Dunkin' Donuts ("Dunkin'"),Blackwater (company) ("Constellis"),Grauman's Chinese Theatre ("TCL Chinese Theatre"),Ivory Coast ("Côte d'Ivoire"),Facebook Messenger ("Messenger"),Department of Defense ("Department of War"), etc. The examples listed by the nominator are edge-case outliers, not the dorm; some of them are not comparable here because their former names were never well-known to begin with, or the new name has indeed overtaken the old one as the most commonly recognizable, while others probably warrant additional review to ensure we are applying our PAGs consistently. TheAP Stylebook is irrelevant because we do not follow external style guides, and certainly not those whose primary goal is political correctness.InfiniteNexus (talk)00:04, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Reliable sources and common language has [sic] abandoned it.Clearly, they have not — otherwise, the Google Trends data that you seem to think is infallible would have shown a flat line for "Twitter". You are exaggerating when you claim that the use of "Twitter" has fallen to zero, and you seem to be under the impression that "reliable sources" only means "online news articles".InfiniteNexus (talk)00:48, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I am under the impression that generally reliable sources are what is catalogued at WP:RSPS.You would be mistaken, and if you were under this impression while drafting the nomination, then that is yet another flaw in your analysis. Please reviewWP:RS for what is defined as a reliable sources, and then readWP:RSPIS to see what that page actually is — certainly, not an exhaustive list of reliable sources. For starters, the nomination completely ignored scholarly sources, anda simple search on Google Scholar yields plenty of results.InfiniteNexus (talk)08:37, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
trying to avoid a parenthetical disambiguationis avery good reason to disregard it. I don't see any wording onWP:AT that suggests COMMONNAME or NAMECHANGES must override or take precedence over NATURAL, CONCISION, or any of the other PAGs on the page.InfiniteNexus (talk)08:37, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The need to follow established policy should settle the matter, but retaining “Twitter” after an official name change that is subsequently adopted by a majority of reliable source is also inconsistent with how similar issues have been handled with other article subjects. There are countless examples of companies, brands, and venues whose articles are now known by their new name despite a comparatively long history under another name[.]
Note that WP:NAMECHANGES explicitly requires that the name change to what the reliable sources use “when discussing the article topic in the present day”. Therefore, the length and significance of the history of the article topic under the prior name are irrelevant. The only thing that matters is use by reliable sources in the present day to refer to the topic in the present day.
irrelevant, it wouldn't mention "weight"ing. So
length and significance of the history of the article topic under the prior namemight carry enough weight to offset recent developments.HenryMP02 (talk)01:28, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
[n]atural disambiguation refers to when you can add additional words to refer to an article's subject) is flawed. This is for roughly the reason that@InfiniteNexus ended up pointing out. In fact, not only is that claim disproven byWP:NCDAB, which InfiniteNexus referenced, but it is also contrary to WP:NATURAL itself, which provides a third example ("Elevator" versus "Lift") that apparently was missed. Better points would include arguing that "Twitter" qualifies as being an
obscurename under WP:NATURAL – this is similar to what the first WP:NATURAL-related counterargument seems to be suggesting, but I would not necessarily recommend that it be emphasized because it may imply that "Twitter" should be removed from the lead sentence of this article, a position that I doubt would draw any significant support – and pointing out that, because WP:NATURAL does not state that natural disambiguation must be used wherever possible but merely notes that it
is sometimes preferred, this may be a case in which it is not preferred given all of the other reasons that are listed in the rationale of this RM. –Gluonztalkcontribs01:30, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Natural disambiguation refers to when you can add additional words to naturally refer to an article's subject - not using a whole different word or name.HenryMP02 (talk)01:57, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

News sources have almost entirely stopped including “formerly Twitter”.Greedycell (talk)04:20, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, all of the sources that I listed in my comment above refer to "X" without referring to "Twitter" in the body of the article.This is what I wanted to confirm because I am 100% certain that is false. To be specific, you might be correct that some of those sources have stopped using Twitter, but not all of them. --Super Goku V (talk)01:52, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
You can't be 100% certain unless you check.Well, I should be fine then as I currently have 35 articles that I have confirmed mention Twitter for one reason or another. --Super Goku V (talk)05:29, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, all of the sources that I listed in my comment above refer to "X" without referring to "Twitter" in the body of the article.You told me I should check rather than make assumptions, I told you it wasn't an assumption, and now you are saying what sounds like a different thing here than
Yes, all of the sources that I listed in my comment above refer to "X" without referring to "Twitter" in the body of the article.--Super Goku V (talk)05:34, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The sources, as in the specific linked articles, do not mention Twitter in the body of the article. This demonstrates that those publications no longer feel it is necessary to clarify that X used to be called Twitter.Well that is very crystal clear for me, so thank you for clearing this up.
Of course I wasn’t saying that, for example, the BBC will never again write the word “Twitter”. Of course they will—-in the context of articles about when the website was called Twitter.Ah, I wasn't meaning anything like future-proofing. --Super Goku V (talk)06:17, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
And out of all those 57 sources, none refer to Twitter as the primary name.That is not an argument that wasn't brought up in the previous RM.Greedycell (talk)05:28, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Self-trout: I goofed and misunderstood what you meant by only. Sorry for the trouble. --Super Goku V (talk)02:14, 14 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]If some of the Dorsey-era Twitter details are moved into a history article, that's fine, but it's not quite a full split.Hmm, interesting. For sports teams, you usually see a split when a team relocated where both the old and new keep the same copy of details with the new article getting updates. My understanding of a move is that we would just move this from Twitter to X without creating an old copy. --Super Goku V (talk)11:45, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
If the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match.Seems quite clear and straightforward, and a compelling and detailed case is made above that it applies here. "Twitter" is nowhere near as commonly used to deserve consideration as an alternative.
[X Corp.] says that users continue to refer to X as “Twitter” and posts as “tweets,” while some websites still display Twitter’s bird-shaped favicon when linking users to X. The lawsuit adds that as of December 11th, 2025, more than four million users accessed X through the “twitter.com” domain. (...)Even the company know how recognizable the former name is to people. (WP:Recognizability) One of the more telling things of that is the description onthe Apple App Store,
Welcome to X (formerly known as Twitter) (...) .Despite this, I am wiling to consider PK-WIKI's proposed split. It does help that I am aware of how we are handling theAthletics, a baseball organization that was formerly theOakland Athletics and that plan to become theLas Vegas Athletics. As can been seen, the first two links are standalone articles with the third being a redirect to the current process so far. That and we still haveTwitter under Elon Musk floating around. If this can end the contentious of this topic, then I am for it. (As an aside, I am for a12-month moratorium on just move discussions if this fails given that this was posted the literial minute the last one ended.) --Super Goku V (talk)01:50, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

been called X for a year— far too early to make such a determination. Those who cite personal preference as their rationale for supporting or opposing a move will be discarded perWP:NHC. Regardless of where this page title ends up, it will be entirely because editors are following our PAGs, not an endorsement nor insult to Musk. Like I said,people can interpret Wikipedia titles however they wish. For this reason, I disagree that "Twitter" is, on its own, non-neutral term.InfiniteNexus (talk)20:42, 16 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Support move/rename, strong oppose split Over the past few RMs I've voted neutral on a rename, but have made it clear that was on the circumstance that wedon't treat Twitter and X as separate entities. They are not separate entities, and I'm surprised to still see that argument being used. All sources make it clear that they're the same website, usually by calling it X (formerly Twitter). This time, it seems a lot of the oppose votes specify that they're opposing on the grounds of splitting, which is a huge no. I support moving this page to X (social network) in the hopes that this ends the split arguments, as this time it seems there are currently more supports than opposes, unlike the past RMs.
For the record, when I say "split arguments", I mean treating Twitter and X as separate websites, since they're obviously the same website with a by now 3 year old rename. I am fine with separate pages for thehistory of Twitter/X, so separate pages of "History of Twitter (2006-2022)" and "History of X.com (2022-present) are fine. However,one of either "Twitter" and "X (social network) must be a redirect of the other. In this case, I support making Twitter the redirect and X.com the page name.Unnamed anon (talk)02:30, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
"one of either "Twitter" and "X (social network) must be a redirect of the other"is your !vote/opinion and not an actual requirement. Our content policies would allow for the current social network to exist atX and aWP:SPINOUT /WP:SPINOFF article describing the previous iteration to exist atTwitter.PK-WIKI (talk)06:51, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
several users still keep their account after Elon's acquisitions, that's an understatement. Literally all users who already had an account and didn't consciously delete their own accounts or get banned (both of which can, did, and still do happen at any time) kept the exact same account after Elon's acquisitions. Because it's the same website with a rename. All posts, likes, and dates pre-Elon remain the exact same too.Unnamed anon (talk)21:49, 14 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Totally different management, employees and policies.These very reasons is why the company that owns Twitter is currently given two separate pages,Twitter, Inc. andX Corp. The different company has little bearing on the fact that the actual website has the exact same UI, functions, internal data, and content. A "clean break" does not change the fact that the end product is not significantly different to the average user. Again, we should not deceive readers that there was a separate website where data had to be manually imported by users, and the separate company pages are sufficient to explain the management/policy change. Too many sources say "X (formerly Twitter)", or use the two names interchangeably in the same article, for Wikipedia to disregard and call different sites, and the ones that only say "X" is an indication of the new name catching on, not that they're different websites. The 2022 company switch is already listed in the infobox (and there were also 3 different companies between 2006 and 2007), so readers will be able to understand when the supposed "tipping point" happened by reading the infobox.Unnamed anon (talk)07:44, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
formerly and still commonly referred to as the Sears Tower, LOL) — and, as I noted previously, this is one of the few outliers compared to dozens of contrasting examples — enough time has passed for most people to be familiar with the new name "Willis Tower".
Most people, even if they still call it Twitter, won't be confused if you tell them you saw something on X? I'm not sure I can confidently say that.InfiniteNexus (talk)05:38, 16 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I know this isWP:NOTAVOTE, but it's still interesting to see that, unlike any other rename or split proposal in the history of this article, there are far more people voting to move the article than to split or to keep combined (the ratio of move to split/keep is 20:7). I think this shows that the situation has changed quite a bit in the last year.
For those editors who would claim this is a result ofWP:CANVASSING, note that none of the 'canvassed' editors have participated in this discussion as of yet.OmegaAOLtalk?06:31, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

"I think this shows that the situation has changed quite a bit in the last year"is clearly an argument. You have responded to almost all of the comments opposing your postition. Your opinion is known. Let others speak.Esolo5002 (talk)13:04, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I agree because Twitter is just misleading.— Precedingunsigned comment added byLSPARK (talk •contribs)23:16, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
People seriously need to wait like two years before doing another one. Nothing is going to change overnight and at this point, it's going to be considering what is that policy that forces a decision? Agh. Anyways. That policy.Reader of Information (talk)22:54, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that it takes so incredibly long for -adult- Wikipedia editors to agree or disagree that a social network changed its name more than a year and a half ago is the height of bureaucracy. Whether I watch the news, read it, or whatever, X is always formally used. This discussion has gone too far, in my opinion. A split is best because there's a before and after Twitter. Twitter as we once knew it no longer exists and will never return. Philosophically, that's the transience of life and everything that exists. And that's okay.Coldbolt (talk)13:51, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
X/Twitter had an outage earlier today, and there are multiple sources showing that both names get used interchangeably in articles (not just "X (formerly Twitter), but also using "X" in one sentence and "Twitter" in another sentence in the exact same article). The split votes saying that Twitter and X are "different websites" are not supported by sources. The majority, if not all, of the below sources are all unique sources independent from one another, all of whom seem to agree that X and Twitter are indeed the same site. All of the below sources are also from earlier today, February 16, 2026, so they all indicate that recent sources do not consider them to be separate websites.
About half of these sources list "X" before "Twitter", and the other half list them the other way around. Before considering these as weakening move votes, there are some sources that only use "X" in the title, but mention its former name "Twitter" in prose:
And here's some that exclusively calls it X:
I do still support a move, but that really comes down to how most of the oppose votes are also split votes, which contrary to the RM initiator I find to be extremely weak rather than "strong". This is not akin to a sports team changing locations and name, because to my knowledge sources don't consistently liken sports teams to their old location to the same frequency they liken X to its old name. They are the exact same website excluding owners, and this fact is supported by sources. The tipping point for going from status quo to rename is that now some sources are starting to only use "X" in the tile and only mention "Twitter" in prose.Unnamed anon (talk)22:43, 16 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
