Proto-Italic. Should be under *faβā. The entry is based from the spelling *fafā gave by De Vaan, but it's apparently a different spelling convention (to be honest I still haven't figured out why De Vaan spells things in certain ways, it seems kind of inconsistent sometimes).

- @Catonif If you are confident you can just move it yourself. This, that and the other (talk) 03:00, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- Actually, on a second though. I realized that all of our Proto-Italic pages have inconsistent and sometimes straight up wrong titles. There is a massive misconception of PIt phonology. This needs to be reworked completely (but I'm doing other things now). Catonif (talk) 05:35, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- You have no idea. This is a favorite playground of an IP editor geolocating to the Pays de la Loire, France, who likes to make things up. I created an abuse filter to keep them out of the Reconstruction namespace, but it's not perfect and there's plenty of garbage from before then. They also edited for a while as Dim Blob (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks).

- I see. I'll see what I can do. For now I'll close the discussion and remove the RFM from the page (since if we end up reworking our spelling entirely, fafā is likely going to be the best spelling, actually). Catonif (talk) 20:26, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Catonif: see WT:AITC for our actual orthography. Chuck Entz (talk) 20:36, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
