Herpes simplex → Herpes – Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONCISE. "Herpes" already redirects here and thus this article is already considered the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and "Herpes" is a much more common term for this type of infection than "Herpes simplex". This is the same type of situation as when we moved Diabetes mellitus to Diabetes a few years ago. Rreagan007 (talk) 04:08, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- Support per COMMONNAME.--Ortizesp (talk) 05:15, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom. The proposed title is the primary topic, is the common name for the subject, and is a more concise term. The Night Watch (talk) 14:44, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
Society and culture - New Zealand destigmatisation campaign October 2024
In October 2024 a campaign by the New Zealand Herpes Foundation aimed to 'Make New Zealand the Best Place in the World to Have Herpes'. Using humour, trustworthy spokespeople, and bite-sized information videos it aims to destigmatise herpes in New Zealand. The 'Herpes Stigma Index', a global ranking, was created as part of the campaign. See https://thebestplaceintheworldtohaveherpes.com/ MittenMacaroni (talk) 00:46, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
