Rename as Portlaoise
Portlaoise (rather than Port Laoise) is the official and commoner spelling. Wikipedia has switched in the last few days. I'll switch the WV name likewise unless there's a cogent argument for status quo. Grahamsands (talk) 14:43, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

The dynamic maps continue to show it as "Port Laoise". What action is needed to switch those? Grahamsands (talk) 08:43, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You'll need to go to OpenStreetMap since it's their maps which we're using. I'm not an expert with OSM, and I've never used it before, but I believe has some better knowledge of OSM. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 08:53, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I can take a look on OSM, but it might require discussion first, similar to this wiki. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 10:19, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Since WV and WP both use this spelling, I went ahead and made the change to the “town” marker, but it may take a few hours to a few days for the map to update itself. But the correct data is there. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 10:28, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Try Ctrl+5 (or whatever causes a manual refresh if using Mac) on the OSM website. When zoomed in on the city, you should see "Portlaoise" now. Zoomed out may take longer for OSM to coordinate. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 15:53, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
