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.

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.

The source for this comes from the name of the game "Bethesda"

(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.

Hi Phil, are you talking about the Urdu name?

Advice noted, thanks!

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 😅

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".

*Who's members are primarily speakers of Urdu.

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

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

Thanks!
