Change of page name to "Colonial Service and HM Overseas Civil Service"

[edit]

I am not sure this is the best title for the page. The name of the service changed, and the question then arises of whether there should be a separate page for HM Overseas Civil Service, as its functions are non-colonial, although not to begin with. If putting two names into one title is the answer, which perhaps it is for now, I do not think it makes sense to include "HM" in one name and not in the other. It's far from clear what the solution is, so I am inviting comments here. If there are no comments, I may change the name again. Moonraker (talk) 22:01, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No it isn't. I've moved it back. I don't know if we need two separate articles, but it's overwhelmingly best-known as the Colonial Service. Redirects from the other titles are perfectly sufficient. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:07, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
