I just remembered that I forgot to post this suggestion, so... I will do it now.
In this unticketed thread about the naming of Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh, someone suggested including issuers' alternate names in parenthesis. I see some problems with doing that; however, I had a modification on that idea that I think would help in regards to searching for issuers, which I will quote below:
Quote: "Sulfur"This idea is also relevant to this thread about Guyana and British Guiana, so... this should help in multiple places.Quote: "Idolenz"At least put the old name maybe in brackets.I like this suggestion, although with a slight modification.
As an unsuspected user I would be confused if I type Nagorno what not and Artsack pops up.
Type: Nagor...
Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh)
There are quite a few issuers that have multiple alternate names. For example, take "Fengtien Province" under China. Other names, based on history or coin-spellings, include "Fengtian", "Liaoning", and "Mukden". Now, imagine we included all those names in parenthesis--we would get:
- Fengtien Province (Fengtian; Liaoning; Mukden)
- [Or something like that.]
So... including every alternate name in parenthesis would not look that nice. However, what if, when we start typing a name, only the relevant name appears in parenthesis? That way, if we type 'L', we would simply get:
- Fengtien Province (Liaoning)
Or when we type 'M', we would get this instead:
- Fengtien Province (Mukden)
Of course, this would also effect Artsakh and Eswatini, with their alternate names.
And... yeah. That is everything. Thoughts on this?
