Funding of European political parties → Funding of political parties at European level – The current title erroneously implies that all political parties in Europe are included. "political parties at European level" is the proper name. ꧁ Zanahary꧂ 07:57, 12 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I disagree strongly with this. The article makes it clear from the beginning (even though you edited this) that this is only for European political parties, and the page "European political party" is clear on which parties those are. Otherwise this would be "political parties in the European Union" or something similar.

Likewise, the category "European political parties" is indeed a sub-category of "Pan-European political parties". The former contains only European political parties (EU-level entities registered with the APPF), while the latter contains far more political parties operating across Europe. And the category "Political parties in Europe" is even broader, as it concerns all political parties in Europe, whether of not they act across border.

The EU itself now uses the term "European political parties". Of course, I would also favour re-instating the term "European political parties" in the opening sentence, for clarity (the initial draft made sure to explain this term, although this can be left out provided we have the Wikilink to "European political party"). And, of course, the proposed "Funding of political parties at European level" can always serve as a redirect to "Funding of European political parties".

Additionally, as pointed out on the talk page of European political party, while "political party at European level" was indeed used in the Treaty on European Union back in 2009, the EU has consistently used the term "European political party" for over ten years now, including in the Regulation on these parties (Regulation 1141/2014 on the statute and funding of European political parties and European political foundations ^[1]) as well as in the name of its monitoring body (the Authority for European political parties and European political foundations (APPF)). So this is not only common practice, but also clear institutional and formal use right at the source. Julius Schwarz ( talk) 11:11, 12 June 2024 (UTC) reply
