- This is an old guideline version that was current between 2009 and 2019. For the current guideline as of 2019, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Macedonia)
This is a guideline on how to refer to the various geographical and political entities called "Macedonia", and in particular to the independent country of that name, the Republic of Macedonia, whose name is politically disputed.
This guideline is a result of a centralised discussion process instigated by the Arbitration Committee following the "Macedonia 2" case (see navigation sidebar for sub-pages where the discussion took place.) Its resulting consensus was determined by three administrators Fritzpoll (talk · contribs), J.delanoy (talk · contribs), and Shell Kinney (talk · contribs), who were named as referees by the Arbitration Committee.[1]
According to the arbitration decision, this guideline is meant to be binding and enforceable for the time being. Editors are reminded that all contentious edits touching upon Macedonia naming practices also continue to be subject to a 1RR restriction. In cases covered by this guideline, editors reinstating the version conforming to it are not subject to this restriction.
