| 115377419 | Hi thanks for pointing it out. I've added the tags. It may have been that I might have removed them accidentally while adding the Mosque and the hall, when I was sorting out the area. |
|
| 117587437 | Hi! Yes I add both tags, just in case one or the other is used by other 3rd party sites (for instance - I know Spotify & MSN weirdly use the pa-Arab tags for the localised Shahmukhi page), otherwise I'm mainly for the 'pnb' ISO code. It's also the code used by Wiki projects. |

| 120051550 | The source for this comes from the name of the game "Bethesda" https://www.bbc.com/urdu/science/2016/04/160408_bafta_game_awards_rwa (You can CTRL + F "بتھیسڈا"), but for a lot of the other places, I've been transliterating them based on local sources, and language knowledge. |

| 120051550 | Hi Phil, are you talking about the Urdu name? |
|
| 118464731 | Advice noted, thanks! |
|
| 117744876 | Also, side note. Urdu Wikipedia is generally not reliable for names of places. Contributors try and translate names based on guessed pronunciation and transliteration, for the sake of publishing a page. It's the reason why I'm trying to localise the names in Urdu 😅 |
|
| 117744876 | I'm not sure about nearby areas, but since most Urdu speakers in the village are members of the Ahmadiyya community, I felt it would have been more appropriate to name it that. The actual name, actually refers to the centre on sheephatch lane, but the entire village is *generally known as Islamabad. Happy to have it reverted, if you feel it's better to leave it as "Tilford". |

| 117744876 | Hi Jon. It does seem unusual but the Ahmadiyya community refers to this place as "Islamabad (Tilford)", as their headquarters are located here. |

| 117588527 | Hi, I have been guilty of doing this in other cases too, but I will refrain from doing this now on. Thanks! |
